California's top state court has ruled that employers cannot be held liable when workers contract COVID-19 on the job and spread it to their household members, siding with business groups who warned of a potential flood of litigation. The seven-member California Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously ruled that allowing so-called "take home COVID" claims could encourage businesses to adopt precautions that slow the delivery of services to the public, or to shut down completely during pandemics. Corby Kuciemba had filed the lawsuit, saying she became seriously ill when her husband contracted COVID at his job with Victory Woodworks Inc in 2020 and passed it to her.
