Trump Administration Tells Employers Not To Worry About Recording COVID-19 Cases

Only health care facilities and select other employers will have to figure out if infections happened at work. Safety advocates are beside themselves
The Trump administration announced Friday afternoon that employers outside of the health care industry generally won’t be required to record coronavirus cases among their workers, a decision that left some workplace safety advocates incredulous.
COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, is classified as a recordable illness, meaning employers would have to notify the Occupational Safety and Health Administration when an employee gets sick from an exposure at work. But the nation’s top workplace safety agency now says the majority of U.S. employers won’t have to try to determine whether employees’ infections happened in the workplace unless it’s obvious.

But no one is talking about what that means, whether short- or long-term immunity are even real, or what organ damage may be present.
"Get back to work!" All they know how to say. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Be well!
