While there is still much to discover about the coronavirus, one thing that is known is that the virus spreads quickest via touch and close contact with carriers. The CDC has mandated that employers need to implement measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Precautionary measures include providing gloves, masks, hand sanitizer, and cleaning supplies, and isolating any employees that display symptoms. However, some public service employers are negligent and have not followed federal COVID-19 guidelines, resulting in sick employees.
If you have tested positive for COVID-19, and think that you were infected on the job, you need to document your work environment and injuries immediately. Collect a copy of your test results, take photos of hazards in your workplace, and consult a coronavirus workers compensation attorney about filing a claim.
