A bill that would require minimum COVID-19 protocols for workplaces in New York is facing mounting opposition from the state s business community.
The provision would set mandates for preventing the spread of the virus in workplaces, including breaks for hand washing, supplies of personal protective equipment and social distancing.
But business organizations in a memorandum of opposition pointed to a range of concerns and called the measure a burdensome regulatory framework that could expose employers to lawsuits. The combination of these burdens will create significant new costs during a period of unprecedented economic distress, the business groups wrote in the memo. Further, this bill makes no distinction between large corporate entities and the small, local businesses that have suffered specific duress during the pandemic.

As the state starts to ease some of its COVID-19 restrictions, doctors are warning that the virus and the new variants are still a threat across New York.
Lawmakers and advocates on Thursday held a virtual rally pushing for the NY HERO Act, which would require businesses have enforceable standards to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
“We know for a fact there were more deaths than there should have been in the spring of last year,” Senate Deputy Majority Leader Mike Gianaris said. “Because too many employers were not being scrupulous about protecting their workers and having standards in place.”
