Public settings, such as schools, childcare centres, nursing homes, hospitals and correctional facilities and all other canteens of public institutions, can play a key role in ensuring people are provided with healthy food and helping prevent the 8 million annual deaths currently caused by unhealthy diets.
A new WHO Action framework for developing and implementing public food procurement and service policies for a healthy diet aims to increase the availability of healthy food through setting nutrition criteria for food served and sold in public settings. The action framework also aims to reduce preventable diseases and deaths from high consumption of sodium and salt, sugars and fats, particularly trans fats, and inadequate consumption of whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruit.

Note: This alert supersedes and replaces an earlier alert on the same topic, issued on December 22, 2020.
In mid-December 2020, Maine Governor Janet Mills, the state’s attorney general’s office, the Maine Department of Health & Human Services, and the Maine Human Rights Commission published new guidance concerning mask directives and the availability of accommodations for individuals prevented from wearing a mask or face covering due to a disability.
These publications have generated a number of questions within the employer community regarding the extent to which the governor’s face covering mandate applies in the context of private workplaces. We offer the following summary of the latest developments concerning face coverings and reasonable accommodations in Maine. While we don’t claim to have all the answers, we hope this alert will help to alleviate some confusion.
