This law firm publication by Jackson Lewis examines Virginia's enactment of an emergency temporary standard for COVID-19 workplace practices described by the state as the first of its kind nationwide. The standard takes effect at the end of July, covers most private employers and all state and local workers, and exceeds federal guidelines in several respects. Among various health and safety protocols, the standard contains requirements for maintaining air handling systems and obligates property owners to report positive COVID-19 tests to employer tenants.
