(Infant) Alien medical testing up to the employer?

[雅各]

Hi,

I am planning on working in Wuhan in September this year.

I have a young baby son and have been a bit hesitant/guilty etc about him having to have a blood test for entry.

Calling the Embassy (Consulate?) here in Melbourne, Australia, I asked if infants were exempt or what the story was.

The reply was "I don't know".

On registering my surprise, the guy on the line said "It's up to your employer".

Is this true? Is it up to the employer whether the blood test is necessary?

If possible, please cut/paste or provide a brief rundown of what actually eventuates. Not only for blood tests etc, but also for families of those on a Z-Visa.

Thank you,

雅各。
