Client Alert | Labor and Employment | Don’t Take Those Masks Off Yet
Dear Clients and Friends:
Many people were thrilled with the news that the CDC has lifted the mask requirement for fully vaccinated individuals in most indoor settings.
While this is great news, employers must be aware that the Occupational Health and Safety administration which governs safety in most workplaces and New York State still require masks to be worn in indoor workplaces in most cases when employees cannot stay six feet apart. This applies to both vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
We anticipate these rules will change soon-perhaps as early as next week. For now, employers must continue to abide by the mask mandate or risk possible fines.
