Businesses and other entities must contend with challenges posed by multiple layers of government regulations and guidance applicable to managing worker health and safety hazards with reference to SARS-CoV-2 - the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. These challenges include preparing workplace health and safety plans in compliance with federal and state guidelines; procuring a reliable supply of federally-approved cleaners, disinfectants, hand sanitizers, personal protective equipment (PPE), and face masks; managing situations where federally-approved products are unavailable and use of alternatives may subject the business to government enforcement action; and keeping abreast of evolving regulations and guidance, including with reference to testing, contact tracing, reporting, and notification in the event an employee tests positive.
