The purpose of this comment is to request that the Emergency Temporary Standard (see subject) be made a permanent regulation. Reasons follow. COVID-19 will not have disappeared at the end of the six month emergency period. The regulations contain protections all employees should be able to expect where they work. The guidelines are clearly written. Following the regulations actually helps employers by providing a healthy workplace so employees don't miss work or work to work sick and make others sick, which reduces productivity. Thank you for your consideration.
