The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued Interim Guidance from CDC and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Manufacturing Workers and Employers (the Interim Guidance), which provides recommendations related to COVID-19 transmission considerations for manufacturing workers and employers. This Interim Guidance is in most parts the same as the previously issued CDC/OSHA joint interim guidance for meat and poultry workers and employers, with only a few minor additions. Of note, the Interim Guidance lists an expanded set of potential COVID-19 symptoms to use when screening workers: fever, cough, or shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and new loss of taste or smell. The Interim Guidance applies to a number of manufacturing industries, including food processing facilities.
