SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Just moments ago, the Greater Sacramento Region, of which El Dorado County is a part, was granted authority by the State to exit the Regional Stay At Home Order, effective immediately.

This is an update of a client alert originally issued on November 19, 2020.
There are now over 70 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide, and nearly 2 million deaths, including more than 300,000 in the United States. Federal, state and local authorities are recommending that travelers avoid nonessential travel and group gatherings, and several jurisdictions have imposed mandatory testing and quarantine requirements on out-of-state travelers. Notwithstanding this guidance, many people traveled and gathered over the Thanksgiving holidays, resulting in a spike in coronavirus cases. And it has been reported that nearly 90 million people plan to travel this week and next, which doubtless will result in another spike in cases. What does this mean for employers?
