The Impact of COVID–19
| Survey Respondents from 30 States and 2 Canadian Provinces Return to Work | Two Most Common Legal Concerns from Respondents: Survey—May 2020 1. Liability Tied to On-Site Infections 2. Employee/Customer Safety
Return to Work Survey—May 2020 — Survey responses broke down into 2 kinds of specific measures to enhance the safety of workplaces: 1. Those that can be taken quickly, unilaterally and relatively inexpensively; 2. Those that require greater levels of capital expenditure, legal analysis and employee buy-in. — Implementation of the lower cost, easier to implement measures (such as cleaning protocols and modifying spaces to promote social distancing) was nearly universal. — The more difficult measures (such as contact tracing) were for the most part not being considered at this point.
