When the coronavirus outbreak was declared a pandemic in March 2020, businesses scrambled to adapt as much of the country began to shut down. Workplace procedures were abruptly modified, and many companies shifted to remote work. Now, employers are deciding how to respond to new guidance as COVID-19 cases decline and economies reopen.
On June 15, California Gov. Gavin Newsom fully reopened the state’s economy. “California is turning the page on this pandemic, thanks to swift action by the state and the work of Californians who followed public health guidelines and got vaccinated to protect themselves and their communities,” he said. “We are lifting the orders that impact Californians on a day-to-day basis while remaining vigilant to protect public health and safety as the pandemic persists.”
