Please rescind the Permanent Safety Standard for Infectious Disease Prevention: SARS-CoV-2 / 16VAC25-220.  As a company we have remained open and spent money beyond our budget to keep employees safe. This has included implementing temperature checks, enforcing social distancing, abiding the stay-at-home and return-to-work orders, posting signage, adding sanitary stations, rewriting daily safety procedures, and more. We have also tried to complied with all government mandates throughout the pandemic.  Now with all the conflicting directions from you,  the CDC, Federal and State officials and the fact the Covid cases are less severe and have greatly diminished it is time to rescind the Permanent Safety Standard for Infectious Disease Prevention: SARS-CoV-2 / 16VAC25-220.

Thank you,
