COVID fatigue is real and we get it. That said, it's important employers know that as state and city ordinances move away from enforced COVID protocol, OSHA has recently issued a COVID-specific national emphasis program at the federal level through 2021 to ensure employers maintain protective procedures to reduce workplace exposure.
