UAE work permit with regards to having HepB infection?

This is in relations to what I have asked before, if persons with HepB+ allowed to worked in UAE? I have read some link in the Gulf News about about being HepB+. please see attached....

**Dubai: The UAE currently requires expatriates to be tested for HIV, tuberculosis (TB) and Hepatitis B, depending on where they are and what their jobs are.

All expatriates who test positive for HIV are deported. Dubai and Abu Dhabi residents who test positive for tuberculosis do not get deported but are treated instead. The Health Ministry, with jurisdiction over the Northern Emirates, deports any expatriate with TB. As for Hepatitis B, some categories of expatriates are required to be tested.

Dr Juma Bilal Fairuz, director of Infection Control at the Health Ministry, told Gulf News these included food handlers, salon workers, barbers and personal drivers.** This was in the Gulf News last year

Can anyone comment on this please? The Ministry of Health says one thing but meant another thing, it quite confusing to us who have been offered contracts in the UAE but could not proceed with the required procedures because of some confusion this matter. I would not be involved in some works relating to the food or hospitality industry....
Thanks a lot.......

Dear Jan,

to be Hepatitis free was mandatory for the professions mentioned by you. But - since July 08 the UAE made Hepatitis B a "deportable disease" requiring ALL expatriates seeking new employment and residence visa to be Hepatitis free.

Please look at the date the article in Gulf New was printed.
This article is dated December 08
