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.”).
