As an employer in the heavy construction industry, I oppose adopting a Permanent Standard for Infectious Disease Prevention: SARS-CoV-2 Virus That Causes COVID-19, 16VAC25-220. The proposed permanent standard has no specified end date and is based on a temporary standard for a temporary health crisis for which there are now 2 vaccines distributed to Virginia with over 90% efficacy and several more candidates are nearing the end of their trials.
