In order to prepare for issues Oklahoma employers could face in the future, we monitor lawsuits filed in other states that present new, unique, or challenging claims for employers. Keeping track of national trends makes Oklahoma employers better equipped to address workplace challenges. A recent California lawsuit may offer a preview of pandemic-related claims we may encounter in our own state.
Health orders and advisories
During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, San Francisco and Bay Area Counties issued shelter-in-place orders requiring individuals to remain in their residences to limit the spread of the virus. Later, health orders were issued governing the safe reopening of the economy. San Francisco’s reopening orders required strict health and safety measures, including daily screening protocols and workplace cleaning and decontamination procedures. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommended similar requirements for employers.
