VA should have businesses align with CDC guidance, that's it.  Anything beyond that is overly cumbersome and confusing for employers and employees.  It is not a one size fits all for safety regulations, especially when the landscape of Covid changes so quickly.  

What happens a different variant comes out, and it takes VOSH and VDOLI another 6 months to update this standard? We will have the same situation like we had previously, with outdated and non-meaningful requirements.  Businesses need to be able to be flexible and adapt quickly, and putting strict rules in a Final Permanent Standard is not helpful for anyone.

Align with CDC and drop the Final Permanent Standard.  Time, effort, and resources would be better spent in other ways than trying to keep updating these guidelines.
