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

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 record-able 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.

"OSHA is kidding, right?" tweeted David Michaels, who helmed OSHA throughout the presidency of Barack Obama.


If t he numbers drop, we're better, right?

So, #OSHA says the employers outside of health care no longer have to determine whether employees' COVID infections may be work-related. So all you infected bus drivers, grocery store clerks, poultry processors -- you didn't get it at work.

You sound like the manager of the processing plant that just shut down because they had more than 200 people with the virus working with food for Americans.

Being a selfish dick fits you though, so by all means, keep at it.
