A.Â
Examination, certificate and filing required. No person
shall hereafter engage, nor shall any person employ or allow a person to work
for him, in the business of handling food intended for distribution or sale
in the borough for human consumption unless such person files with the employer
a medical certificate signed by a physician licensed to practice medicine
in the State of New Jersey showing that the person has been examined under
rules and regulations prescribed by the Board of Health for the purpose of
this code and that the examination failed to show that such person was affected
