By Conn Maciel Carey LLP\u2019s\u00a0COVID-19 Task Force<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As governors and big city mayors across the country have been allowing indoor masking mandates to expire over the last few weeks, last Friday, February 25th<\/sup>, the CDC unveiled a brand new approach to assessing COVID-19 risks and setting mask and distancing recommendations. \u00a0 The CDC\u2019s old tool, which measured the number of COVID-19 cases to determine the relevant level of virus transmission in each community had lost its usefulness as it rendered nearly the entire country as high-risk (95% of all counties), even as the number of people getting seriously ill had dropped precipitously this year.<\/p>\n

CDC\u2019s new guidelines measure the impact the pandemic by looking at three factors week over week:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. New cases per capita (as with the prior guidelines; but also<\/li>\n
  2. New COVID-19 related\u00a0hospital admissions<\/em>; and<\/li>\n
  3. The percentage of area hospital beds occupied by COVID-19 patients.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Each county will have a weekly \u201cCOVID Community Level Rating\u201d that is either Low (green), Medium (yellow) or High (orange). \u00a0Each level\/color has recommended mitigation strategies, set in the table below:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Here is a link<\/a>\u00a0to CDC\u2019s tool to identify the level of COVID-19 transmission in your county.<\/p>\n

    The big news is that CDC recommends <\/span>that everyone continue to mask indoors only<\/em>\u00a0in those counties that are currently rated \u201chigh,\u201d and the CDC\u2019s new threshold for new cases to constitute High community spread quadrupled from 50 new cases per 100,000 people to 200 cases per 100,000 in the new guidelines.\u00a0 The rationale for the much higher trigger approach is that the as the total number of Americans have immune protection either from vaccination or infection, hospitalization rates and deaths will continue to decline, even if case counts are higher.\u00a0 As a result of the CDC\u2019s new tool to measure community spread, today less than a third of the country is experiencing High community spread, a dramatic shift from a few days ago, when most of the country was still in the High category.<\/p>\n

    Shifting to evaluate these issues on a more local level, rather than at the state-wide level as it has been, makes a lot of sense, but on the other hand, these new guidelines represent a shift from relying on leading indicators (just case counts) to a metric that is 2\/3rds<\/sup>\u00a0based on lagging indicators (hospitalizations and hospital capacity).\u00a0 If we encounter a future variant that is more virulent or more easily evades immune protections from vaccination or prior infection, the new CDC system could result in too slow of a trigger to reinstitute COVID-19 protocols.<\/p>\n

    So where does this leave employers? \u00a0 If there are no state or local masking requirements, and there are very few of those left now, and the CDC has designated the county where your workplace is located to be in the low or medium category, you have no obligation to require your employees to be masked in the workplace. \u00a0Of course, you may continue do so, but you would not have to adhere to CDC\u2019s guidelines.\u00a0 And now that federal OSHA is without a COVID-19 regulation, as Secretary of Labor Walsh indicated, OSHA\u2019s only option for enforcement of COVID-19 related issues is the General Duty Clause and some existing standards (e.g., PPE and respiratory protection).\u00a0 Throughout the pandemic, whenever OSHA has issued a General Duty Clause citation, it has referenced general compliance with CDC recommendations as the feasible means of abatement the employer could and should have undertaken to address workplace spread of the virus.\u00a0 Accordingly, the big shift in CDC guidance about masks and other COVID-19 protocols should result in the same shift in expectations from OSHA.<\/p>\n

    The big takeaway is, absent any state or local masking requirements (see, e.g., the status of Virginia OSHA\u2019s COVID-19 rule discussed below), we recommend that you evaluate each of your workplace locations on a weekly basis and remain agile to return to mask requirements if and when the COVID Community Level is or reaches the new High Level designation.<\/p>\n

    What about Physical Distancing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Although the CDC\u2019s updated guidance does not specifically address distancing, there are a couple of reasons to think there is low risk of OSHA regulatory liability for not implementing physical distancing in areas designated as Low COVID-19 community level; i.e., for treating masking and distancing as a pair.\u00a0 We think this is justified at least in part because OSHA\u2019s COVID-19 Vaccination, Testing, and Face Covering regulation, although withdrawn as an ETS, still exists as a proposed permanent rule, and there is pretty well-established OSHRC jurisprudence that if an employer complies with a proposed rule, any violation of other existing regulatory requirements should be characterized as, at worst, a\u00a0de minimis violation<\/em>\u00a0(i.e., not a citable violation at all).\u00a0 The Vaccination and Testing ETS did not impose any social distancing requirements.\u00a0 Thus, we think employers can reasonably defend a policy that does not include social distancing requirements, especially in areas with low community spread.<\/p>\n

    Note, however, that OSHA could counter that it did not include social distancing requirements in its Vaccination and Testing ETS because of the heightened COVID-19 safety measures afforded by vaccination and\/or testing.\u00a0 That is, with a highly vaccinated workforce and\/or a workforce that is subject to weekly testing, there should be less risk of transmission, and thus, no need for social distancing.\u00a0 Nonetheless, we believe the proposed rule provides a strong argument that employers do not need to implement physical distancing to meet their general obligations under the General Duty Clause.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Additionally, we think even stronger support for a policy that does not include social distancing requirements can be found in CDC\u2019s new masking guidelines.\u00a0 In looking more closely at CDC\u2019s new masking guidelines, we think it is actually a misnomer to call them \u201cmasking\u201d guidelines \u2013 that is, they speak more generally about COVID-19 safety measures as a whole.\u00a0 Indeed, the title of the chart that depicts the new low, medium, and high COVID-19 community levels is \u201cWhat\u00a0Prevention Steps<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Should You Take Based on Your COVID-19 Community Level?\u201d\u00a0 And, within the chart itself, although language about masking is included, language about other COVID-19 safety measures, such as vaccination, testing, and additional precautions for people at high risk for severe illness, is included as well.<\/p>\n

    The new guidance seems to implicitly recommend implementation of social distancing\u00a0only<\/em>\u00a0in areas of high COVID-19 community levels (for all people) and medium COVID-19 community levels (for people at high risk for severe illness).\u00a0 Under this interpretation of the new guidance, the full suite of COVID-19 safety protocols (masking, social distancing, health screenings, physical barriers, etc.) would be required for all people in areas of high COVID-19 community transmission, and for all people at high risk for severe illness in areas with medium COVID-19 community level, but would not be required for anyone in areas of low COVID-19 community level.<\/p>\n

    The only measure for people in areas of low COVID-19 community level would be isolation.\u00a0 Even though this guidance has not been developed specifically for workplaces, we believe it would be a reasonable decision for an employer to adopt such a scheme in its workplace COVID-19 policy.\u00a0 Thus, we believe that there would be little enforcement risk to implement a policy that applies the same analysis regarding masking (i.e., requiring masks for all people in areas of high COVID-19 community level, and for people at high risk for severe illness in areas of medium COVID-19 community level) to other COVID-19 safety protocols, such as social distancing, health screenings, physical barriers, etc., again, with the exception of isolation which of course should be a mainstay of any COVID-10 policy.<\/p>\n

    What about Federal Contractors?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

    For federal workers and contractors, the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force guidelines designated two categories of COVID-19 risk \u2013 federal employees and contractors in areas of high or substantial levels of community transmission are required to wear masks in federal workplaces; and in areas of low or moderate levels of community transmission, only the unvaccinated federal contractor employees are required to wear masks. \u00a0Though there is a national federal court injunction currently barring federal agency enforcement of the vaccination mandate aspect of the Executive Order 14042, but not other COVID-19 safety requirements under the EO, a notice on the\u00a0Safer Federal Workforce\u00a0Task\u00a0Force Guidelines<\/a>\u00a0webpage indicates that all of the requirements under the EO are only currently being enforced on federal property; i.e., proof of vaccination or recent negative test, masking, social distancing, etc. \u00a0The Task Force website has\u00a0not been updated yet to conform to CDC\u2019s most recent guidance, but we expect that to happen very soon.<\/p>\n
