  • Implementing a reasonable policy mandating the use of masks when employees are moving around the workplace
  • Rearranging the workplace to abide by social distancing principles
  • Providing accommodations for employees to work from home if they are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 until they receive a negative COVID-19 test
