About the Program

As states coordinate the reopening of the country, employers are planning how to respond to requirements and restrictions in order to resume business activities. Among many factors, this includes COVID-19 screenings, which present a wide range of implications. This webinar will discuss the COVID-19 screening process from different legal perspectives, including:

• Employment—Confidentiality concerns/requirements for screening and results (under ADA), wage/hour issues related to screening processes (both if on-site and off-site), OSHA implications (general duty clause), handling a refusal to be screened and employment implications of a positive result.
• Healthcare—Liability, health information privacy and HIPAA rules, reimbursement and other issues.
• Regulatory—Types of different screenings, how to ensure FDA compliance and validation for the screening tools.
