The US Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration released guidance aimed at protecting long term care facilities employees from exposure to COVID-19. Many of the recommendations are based on CDC guidance including optimizing PPE, screening workers, and sending sick workers home.

The guidance includes encouraging staff to report any safety or health concerns and staggering breaks to avoid overcrowding in the break room.
