COVID guidance document
 

The guidance is fine, however, do we really need it. 

The guidance is fine.

From an OSHA reporting standpoint, we need more clarification on the quantity that needs to be reported to OSHA.  It is vague to whether a single COVID case with no significant illness has to be reported to OSHA or not.  Or are there multiple cases through a specific timeframe.

Another challenge for employers is determination of where the actual COVID close contact occurred.  With employee working remotely, how does that apply?   Also employees who work part time in the office, exposure can happen any where.   Asymptomatic people with in the household, may have had it and did not even know.

So, I think the guidance is fine, if there is clarification about the above questions,

Thank you.
