insightThroughout the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry (“VDOLI”) had seemingly looked towards OSHA and the CDC for direction on how employers should deal with COVID-19. VDOLI’s stance changed dramatically on Friday, June 12, 2020, when it published a Notice of Meeting, scheduled for June 24, 2020 where it will consider the adoption of “16 VAC 25-220, Emergency Temporary Standard/Emergency Regulation Infectious Disease Prevention: SARS-CoV-2 Virus That Causes COVID-19” (“Emergency Regulation.”). The Emergency Regulation was posted contemporaneously with the Notice of Meeting on VDOLI’s Website, and such posting kicked off a 10-day comment period for the public to provide written comments on the Emergency Regulation. Depending on the comments received from the public, the Emergency Regulation could go into effect as early as June 24, 2020. Virginia employers will need to become familiar with the Emergency Regulation and, in some cases, revise policies and procedures for dealing with their workforces in the coming months.
