As COVID-19 restrictions are being reassessed on an almost daily basis it is evident that a return to regular work is imminent for many employees across the world.
Businesses will have to plan ahead to mitigate threats to employee health.
Employers should develop and implement appropriate policies, in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations and guidance, and informed by industry best practices, regarding: social distancing and protective equipment, temperature checks, sanitation, use and disinfection of common and high-traffic areas, business travel, the monitoring of workforce for indicative symptoms.
Businesses will still need to observe regulations governing social distancing, employee gatherings and hygiene practices.
Businesses will need to reconfigure office spaces to provide 6 feet of space between employees.
