Littler’s Operational Protocols for COVID-19 was updated.
The legal professionals at Littler continue to update their home health and home care Recommended Operational Protocols for COVID-19.
On July 27, the Recommended Protocols were updated to reflect the CDC’s new recommendations on return to work criteria after being infected with COVID-19. A few other changes made include:
Recommendation to add a screening question for clients who live in states that have instituted quarantine/isolation requirements on those who travel to certain states with moderate to substantial community transmission or have traveled internationally.
