Department of Labor
The Department of Labor ("DOL") released a Workplace Poster for employers regarding COVID-19 and the Families First Coronavirus Response Act ("FFCRA" or "the Act").  Pursuant to the FFCRA, employers must post a notice to current employees informing them of their rights under the Act.  All covered employers are required to post a notice of the FFCRA requirements in a conspicuous place on its premises where it is visible to all current employees. If employees are teleworking, an employer may satisfy this requirement by emailing or direct mailing this notice to all of its current employees or posting this notice on an employee information internal or external website. Employers are not required to post this notice in multiple languages.

Personal Protective Equipment
As of May 2021, the CDC says supply and availability of facemasks have increased significantly, so healthcare facilities should not be using crisis capacity strategies at this time and should promptly resume conventional practices.

However, the CDC previously released the following optimization strategies for PPE:
  • Strategies for Optimizing the Supply of Facemasks
  • Strategies for Optimizing the Supply of Eye Protection

World Health Organization (WHO)
