The Virginia Department of Labor and Industry (DOLI) posted the final Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) for COVID-19 prevention and mitigation on July 17. The ETS goes into effect next week (exact date still TBD). It will be required of all employers in Virginia without exception. DOLI will be providing information and FAQs in the coming weeks as well.

Hancock Daniel has prepared a toolkit for employers and a client advisory. We encourage facilities to begin working on implementing its requirements immediately.
