While COVID-19 is a challenge, this policy is knee jerk reaction that is not good for the workers or the companies. Further, it is readily apparent that while the pandemic is a concern government must be careful to understand the limited role they can take in spread of an infectious disease.
The real question to be answered in response to this legislation is does this just make 'us' feel better or does it really make a worker safer. This does little to make a worker safer besides create more jobs for lawyers.
