The timing on any subsequent ruling is unknown, though hopefully the Supreme Court will act quickly given the time-sensitive nature of the issues before it. Until the Supreme Court rules on the challengers\u2019 emergency petitions, employers are encouraged to continue to take steps to implement mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies or, alternatively, test-and-mask policies, to come into compliance with the ETS. A reminder that, at present, the deadline for compliance with the policy and related requirements is January 10, 2022, and the deadline for compliance with testing requirements is February 9, 2022.<\/p>\n<h2>OSHA\u2019S UPDATED ETS FAQS<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/coronavirus\/ets2\/faqs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OSHA recently updated its Frequently Asked Questions<\/a>\u00a0(\u201cFAQs\u201d) on the implementation of the ETS.\u00a0 The following summarizes some of the key aspects of the new guidance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201cGood Faith\u201d Compliance and OSHA\u2019s Discretion to Forgo Inspections<\/strong><br \/>\nOSHA has indicated that where an employer has acted in good faith to implement the vaccine mandate and where the \u201cvast majority\u201d of a workforce has been vaccinated (leaving only a \u201csmall number\u201d of unvaccinated employees), OSHA will exercise its discretion to forgo programmed inspections of such workplaces. In assessing an employer\u2019s good faith efforts to vaccinate its entire workforce, OSHA has indicated that it will consider the extent to which a workforce has been vaccinated, as well as the steps an employer has taken to protect its unvaccinated workers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Acceptability of Over-The-Counter Tests With Digital Reporting<br \/>\n<\/strong>When the ETS was first issued, OSHA indicated that over-the-counter (\u201cOTC\u201d) COVID-19 tests were acceptable for use in complying with a testing alternative to mandated vaccination. However, such tests had to be performed in front of, and read by, appropriate personnel of the employer. OSHA has updated that guidance and now takes the position that OTC tests that feature \u201cdigital reporting of date and time stamped results\u201d do not require observation by the employer or an authorized telehealth proctor in order to satisfy the OSHA ETS.OSHA noted that, because such tests are digitally read, the potential for falsified results is reduced. OSHA has indicated that while such tests are self-<em>administered<\/em>, they will not be considered self-<em>read<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Real-Time Observation of Self-Administered and Self-Read OTC Tests<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Employees\u2019 Photos of Self-Administered and Self-Read Tests Not Acceptable<br \/>\n<\/strong>OSHA has reiterated that self-administered and self-read tests are only acceptable if such tests are observed by the employer or an authorized telehealth proctor; an employee\u2019s photograph of test results is not an acceptable substitute for observation by the employer or a telehealth proctor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Observation of Multiple Employees<br \/>\n<\/strong>As noted in the FAQs, employers are permitted to observe the administration of more than one employee\u2019s test at a time; however, employers, \u201cmust not observe more OTC tests at a time than they are able to validate with confidence.\u201d Authorized telehealth proctors can observe more than one employee if permissible under the test\u2019s FDA emergency use authorization.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Retroactive Review of Videos of Self-Administered and Self-Read Tests Not Acceptable<br \/>\n<\/strong>Per the FAQs, an employer\u2019s or authorized telehealth provider\u2019s observation of self-administered and self-read tests must be done in real-time; a post-test review of a videotaped test is not acceptable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employer Remote Observation<br \/>\n<\/strong>OSHA has noted that employers are permitted to proctor OTC tests themselves, in person or via live streaming (such as via Zoom, Skype, or Microsoft Teams).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Documentation of Employer Observed\/Conducted Tests<br \/>\n<\/strong>As provided in the FAQs, in order to satisfy the ETS\u2019 documentation requirements, employers who observe or conduct OTC tests must document the results in writing or, alternatively, document test results by retaining a photo or video of the test result (so long as the test itself was observed in real time).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Flexibility of Testing Options<br \/>\n<\/strong>In the FAQs, OSHA has noted that the ETS provides employers with flexibility regarding the type of testing scenario that works best for their workplace and workforce. Under the ETS, tests may be conducted by health care providers (in, for example, a medical office or pharmacy), tests may be self-administered and self-read (so long as the testing is observed in real time by the employer or an authorized telehealth proctor), and employees may use OTC tests that feature digital reporting of date and time stamped results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A Single OTC Test Satisfies the Weekly Testing Requirement<br \/>\n<\/strong>As OSHA notes in the FAQs, even though certain OTC test kits are sold in units of two and even if such tests require the completion of more than one test under the Emergency Use Authorization, the ETS only requires non-vaccinated employees to be tested once every seven days or within seven days of returning to their workplace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Timing of Vaccine Doses<br \/>\n<\/strong>The updated FAQs note that in order for an employee to be fully vaccinated before the testing requirement goes into effect on February 9, 2022, the employee must receive their Janssen (Johnson &amp; Johnson) dose on or before February 9, 2022. If the employee receives the Pfizer vaccine, the employee must receive their first dose on or before January 19, 2022, with their second dose 21 days later. If the employee receives the Moderna vaccine, they must receive their first dose on or before January 12, 2022, with their second dose 28 days thereafter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>THE CDC\u2019S SHORTENED ISOLATION AND QUARANTINE PERIODS; STATES\u2019 ADOPTION OF SAME<\/h2>\n<p>On December 27, 2021, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/media\/releases\/2021\/s1227-isolation-quarantine-guidance.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CDC released updated guidance regarding COVID-19 isolation and quarantine periods<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Individuals Who Test Positive for COVID-19<br \/>\n<\/strong>Regardless of vaccination status, the CDC recommends that individuals who test positive for COVID-19 stay home and isolate for five days. Individuals can leave isolation and return to their normal activities (including return to work) after five days with no symptoms or once their symptoms have ended. The CDC recommends that individuals stay home until they are fever-free. Additionally, as noted in the updated guidance, individuals should continue to wear a mask for five days after leaving isolation. On January 2, 2022, President Biden\u2019s chief medical advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, noted that there was \u201csome concern\u201d that the CDC\u2019s updated guidance did not include a recommendation that asymptomatic individuals receive a negative COVID-19 test before leaving isolation; stay tuned for future developments on this front.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Individuals Who Were Exposed to Someone With COVID-19<br \/>\n<\/strong>As to individuals who were exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 (that is, individuals who were within six feet of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 for 15 minutes or longer), the CDC\u2019s revised quarantine recommendations are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>For those who are fully vaccinated (i.e. received the J&amp;J vaccine in the past two months, received a second shot of Pfizer or Moderna in the last six months, or received a booster):<\/strong>\u00a0The CDC recommends that these individuals wear a mask around others for ten days (no need to quarantine). If symptoms develop, individuals should get tested and stay home, pending their test results.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For those who are unvaccinated or who are due for their booster:<\/strong>\u00a0As recommended by the CDC, these individuals should quarantine for five days and continue to wear a mask around others for another five days after exposure. If a five-day quarantine is not feasible, the CDC recommends that, for a period of ten days, the individual wear a well-fitting mask at all times when around others. If symptoms develop, individuals should get tested and stay home, pending their test results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As noted in the CDC\u2019s revised guidance, \u201c[f]or all those exposed [regardless of vaccination status], best practice would also include a test for SARS-CoV-2 at day 5 after exposure. If symptoms occur, individuals should immediately quarantine until a negative test confirms symptoms are not attributable to COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mass.gov\/info-details\/what-to-do-if-you-have-covid-19-or-have-been-exposed-to-covid-19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Massachusetts Department of Public Health<\/a>, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/portal.ct.gov\/DPH\/Press-Room\/Press-Releases---2021\/Connecticut-DPH-Encourages-Use-Of-Updated-CDC-Isolation-And-Quarantine-Guidance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connecticut Department of Public Health<\/a>, and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/health.ri.gov\/publications\/frequentlyaskedquestions\/Quarantine-and-Isolation-Updated-Guidance-FAQs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rhode Island Department of Health<\/a>\u00a0have all adopted the CDC\u2019s updated guidance.<\/p>\n<p>This alert aims to provide an overview of the key points contained in the extensive COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing ETS and the CDC\u2019s updated isolation and quarantine guidance.
