Yes, we are all tired of Covid-19, but it is back with a vengeance this Fall, as are back-to-school colds and soon, the flu. This blog is a quick refresher on what employers need to do, and key resources to refer to.
First, remember that the COVID-19 Prevention Non-Emergency Regulations are still in effect in California. We previewed then for you here.
Second, those regulations are clearly summarized in a Cal-OSHA Fact Sheet, and most questions you have are likely addressed in the FAQs, including what to do about workplace exposures, what is considered a close contact, and what to do for an outbreak (three or more cases in an “exposed group” within a 7 day period).
Finally, remember that good workplace health practices still matter, and to encourage employees to stay home when they are not feeling well.
