Operative words

The panel discussed requirements and standards for worksites to protect employees from the virus.... Louisville remains in the red alert level with a daily incidence rate of 54.6 cases per 100,000.... Nick Hart said the Department of Public Health and Wellness continues to get complaints against businesses alleging unsafe practices and procedures to protect employees and patrons from COVID. Complaints usually fall into two categories: employees complaining their employer is requiring them to come back to work even when they've tested positive for COVID and have not completed their isolation period or employees complaining that employers are allowing positive employees to work

Enforcement

LMPHW complaint investigation; isolation-period rules

Notes

Third-quarter-2021 status of Louisville: red alert level from Aug. 10 through at least Sept. 28, 2021; the local health department's enforcement posture toward employers and isolation periods.
