Has anyone seen whether there is relief from the current OSHA guidance that makes contracting COVID-19 at work an actionable claim?

It's easy to say "let's get back to work", but what do we employers do about requiring workers to show up and subjecting ourselves to the inevitable trial lawyer parade to follow?

quote:

COVID-19 can be a recordable illness if a worker is infected as a result of performing their work-related duties. However, employers are only responsible for recording cases of COVID-19 if all of the following are met:

- The case is a confirmed case of COVID-19 (see CDC information on persons under investigation and presumptive positive and laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19);

- The case is work-related, as defined by 29 CFR 1904.5; and

- The case involves one or more of the general recording criteria set forth in 29 CFR 1904.7 (e.g. medical treatment beyond first-aid, days away from work).

ETA: Don't see any easing of recording criteria from bailout proposals. Although OSHA probably wouldn't list anything official until legislation is passed. Would probably have to look at the various proposed Bills.
