EEOC Updates Guidance on ADA and the Rehabilitation Act In Light of COVID-19

As employers continue to react to and prepare for workplace challenges due to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak around the country, the EEOC has updated some of its guidance on the Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and the Rehabilitation Act.  The EEOC addresses situations such as whether employer can require that employees showing symptoms of COVID-19 stay home, and whether employers can take employee’s temperatures.  For the EEOC’s guidance on those issues and more, see the guidance here.  For questions specific to your workplace, please contact your Stoel Rives attorney and check back here and the Stoel Rives Coronavirus (COVID-19) Resource Hub for updates.
