As the holiday season approaches and COVID-19 cases surge, many employers are concerned about the spread of COVID-19 in their workplaces. Most employees are suffering from fatigue, burnout, isolation, and loneliness from COVID-19 and will likely seek to reconnect with friends and family during the upcoming holiday season by attending gatherings, shopping, traveling, and other activities that increase the risk of exposure to COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued detailed guidance titled “Holiday Celebrations and Small Gatherings,” which sets forth specific guidelines and recommendations to reduce the spread of COVID-19 during the holiday season. Employers may wish to advise employees about this holiday guidance and encourage employees to comply with the relevant recommendations.
