Virginia must stay committed to its workforce and protect them from COVID-19 with a strong, permanent COVID-19 OSHA standard.
We support the state’s commitment, and need to ensure strong protections that workers have now under the emergency standard remain in place in the permanent standard.
This pandemic is far from over. Even with vaccines, it will take a long time to build immunity in the population and strong workplace safety protections will continue to be needed.
The permanent standard is necessary to protect working people in Virginia
