1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: State Ohio and no metropolitan area (elsewhere in the State). Quarters: second quarter of 2020 (Apr. 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020; orders from Mar. 13, 2020), third quarter of 2020 (July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020), fourth quarter of 2020 (Oct. 1, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2020), first quarter of 2021 (Jan. 1, 2021 to Mar. 31, 2021), second quarter of 2021 (Apr. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021) and third quarter of 2021 (July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021). Options: the federal layer, agencies and boards, standing duties, group meetings and trade shows and the Service's fourteen sentences answered.

This report is a record of the governmental orders and related instruments that The COVID Project has retrieved, verified and indexed for the State, metropolitan area, industry and calendar quarters selected. Each instrument appears with its issuer, its number and title, its dates, the quarters in which it was in force, the functions of a business it reached, its operative words, its enforcement provision, a citation and an exhibit identifier. Every exhibit identifier resolves to the instrument's record at covidproject.com/library, and to the exhibit file, where held, at covidproject.com/exhibit.

The report is assembled from public governmental instruments, published organizer notices, published legal authorities and public court filings, and it reports what those documents say and when they were in force. It lists the instruments The COVID Project has verified and no others, so every count in it is a floor. It is not a filing, and it does not determine any person's eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit.

The report reproduces at covidproject.com/report?state=OH&quarters=2020Q2,2020Q3,2020Q4,2021Q1,2021Q2,2021Q3&federal=1&agencies=1&duties=1&meetings=1&answers=1. Every exhibit identifier in it resolves at covidproject.com/library/ followed by the identifier, and the exhibit file, where held, at covidproject.com/exhibit/ followed by the identifier.

Disclaimer

The COVID Project is a free public reference. This report is generated from public governmental instruments, published organizer notices, published legal authorities and public court filings that The COVID Project has retrieved and indexed; it reports what those documents say and when they were in force. It is not legal, tax or accounting advice, it does not create any professional relationship, it does not determine any person's eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit or the amount of any credit, and it is not a count of every order that existed. The COVID Project sells nothing and represents no one. Errors in any record can be reported through covidproject.com/contact with the exhibit identifier, and corrections are recorded with their dates.

2. Summary of findings

For each quarter selected, this section states what was in force for this selection on the quarter's first and last days, in the words of the Library's own quarter-by-quarter record for the State, the metropolitan area, the industry's regulators and the federal layer. Exhibit identifiers in parentheses name the instruments. The table that follows counts the instruments listed in section 5 by layer and quarter.

The federal layer of this report is the Library's two federal files: FED-A, the health, safety and transport layer, and FED-B, the commerce, travel, workplace and finance layer, including the orders of the federal courts those files hold. The ecosystem clusters and the federal agency clusters are listed in the Library's federal layer at covidproject.com/federal and are not part of this report's federal layer; a quarter page counts every federal-level instrument of the quarter across those clusters as well, so its figure is the larger of the two.

3. The statute and the test

An employer is an eligible employer for a calendar quarter under the governmental-orders test if

the operation of the trade or business described in clause (i) is fully or partially suspended during the calendar quarter due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)

CARES Act § 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 348; I.R.C. § 3134(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), 135 Stat. 4, 177

Congress enacted those words four times and never changed them. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of March 27, 2020 enacted the Suspension Clause at section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 347-48, for wages paid after March 12, 2020 and before January 1, 2021 (§ 2301(m), 134 Stat. 351) (Ex. LAW-001). The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, Pub. L. 116-260, div. EE, §§ 206-207, 134 Stat. 1182, 3059-65 (Dec. 27, 2020), extended the credit to wages paid before July 1, 2021 and raised its rate to 70 percent; neither section touched the clause (Ex. LAW-002).

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Pub. L. 117-2, § 9651, 135 Stat. 4, 176 (Mar. 11, 2021), added section 3134 to the Internal Revenue Code, whose heading repeats the CARES Act title and whose Suspension Clause reappears word for word at 135 Stat. 177, for wages paid after June 30, 2021 (§ 3134(n), 135 Stat. 182) (Ex. LAW-003). The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Pub. L. 117-58, § 80604, 135 Stat. 429, 1341 (Nov. 15, 2021), ended the credit for calendar quarters beginning after September 30, 2021, and left the third quarter of 2021 in place (Ex. LAW-004).

The clause has seven elements, taken in the statute's order: orders; from an appropriate governmental authority; limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes); due to COVID-19; the operation of the trade or business fully or partially suspended; during the calendar quarter; and due to those orders. The words "essential," "comparable operations," "telework," "customers," "voluntary," "more than nominal," "10 percent," "directed at," "jurisdiction over the employer," "proximate," "independent" and "sufficient" appear in none of the four enactments. The credit runs by calendar quarter; the six quarters the clause governs are the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021.

The partial-suspension test and how this report applies it

In this report the Internal Revenue Service is the "Service," the Government as a litigant is the "United States," Notice 2021-20, 2021-11 I.R.B. 922, is the "Notice," and the statutory text above is the "Suspension Clause." Tri-State is Tri-State Memorial Hospital v. United States, No. 2:25-cv-0181-TOR, ECF No. 38 (E.D. Wash. May 28, 2026), the one federal decision construing the clause's words. Doc. 44 is the United States' opposition and cross-motion for summary judgment in Stenson Tamaddon, LLC v. IRS, No. 2:24-cv-01123-SPL (D. Ariz. Jan. 6, 2025), ECF No. 44; Doc. 49 is the summary-judgment order in that case of June 20, 2025; and the Br. for Appellees is the United States' brief in the appeal, No. 25-4217 (9th Cir. Jan. 30, 2026).

The statute controls, and the Notice does not. The United States has told two federal courts so: the Notice "is merely guidance" and "lacks the force of law" (Doc. 44 at 19); "the United States is not arguing that the IRS interpretation has the force of law or is entitled to deference" (Doc. 44 at 31 & n.8); "[w]hether Notice 2021-20 exists or not, the statute will control whether a refund is warranted" (Doc. 44 at 24). The court held that "the Notice carries no force of law and is entitled to no deference" (Doc. 49 at 27) and that the ten percent figure "is not an exclusionary cut-off point, but rather a safe harbor" (Doc. 49 at 26). In the Ninth Circuit the United States called the Notice "nonbinding guidance," its ten percent provision "a quintessential safe harbor," and wrote that "[t]here is no question of deference here" (Br. for Appellees at 26, 37-38, 58).

"Fully or partially suspended" means what the words say. On definitions both parties agreed, Tri-State held: "a 'partial suspension' is a temporary delay, interruption, or termination of a portion an employer's business. The language is plain" (Tri-State at 8-9). The court refused to read "more than nominal" as "significant": "the plain language and ordinary meaning of partial and nominal do not suggest either of those interpretations" (Tri-State at 10-11). The Notice's ten percent rules are "only administrative guidance"; "the IRS Notice provides a method for the test to be met not as a requirement to meet the test" (Tri-State at 15-16). "Due to" means "because of," which "[b]oth Plaintiff and Defendant agree" (Tri-State at 17), and "the Court recognizes that 'due to' requires 'but-for' causation" (Tri-State at 19). The argument that the virus rather than the order caused the changes fails: "[s]ick patients and employees alone did not require additional protocols" (Tri-State at 20-21).

This report applies the test in five steps, with the instruments the Library holds for your selection and no others. Step one, the order: the issuer, the instrument by number and title, its dates and its exhibit; the Service's own Q&A-10 treats "orders, proclamations, or decrees" as orders "without regard to the level of enforcement" (Notice 2021-20, Q&A-10, at 927-28). Step two, the function it reached: the part of the business the order governed, whether the customer-facing floor, the back of house, the office, the workforce, the supply chain or the customer base. Step three, the change it compelled: the operative words, quoted from the instrument, and the sanction behind them. Step four, the quarter: the days on which the instrument was in force, tested against its dates. Step five, the statute's answer: a function is a portion of the operation; a compelled change is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; but for the order no law required it; and on the definitions the United States agreed to, the operation was partially suspended during the quarter due to the order.

The statute does not ask whether the business was "essential" or stayed open: the Notice's own Q&A-17, Example 4, calls an open hospital under an elective-procedure order partially suspended (Q&A-17, at 930). It does not ask whether the business could telework: Q&A-15 finds a partial suspension wherever a workplace closure "causes the employer to suspend business operations for certain purposes, but not others" (Q&A-15, at 929). It does not ask whose customers were under orders: "a business may be suspended 'due to' a government order addressing a third party" (Br. for Appellees at 41). It does not ask whether a compelled measure was "voluntary": Q&A-14 reaches only a suspension "not due to a governmental order" (Q&A-14, at 929). And it does not ask for a percentage: "The 10 percent is not determinative ... Properly understood, it isn't an eligibility requirement" (Doc. 44 at 14). The Service's letters ask each of those questions. The statute asks one, and this report answers it, instrument by instrument.

How this report was assembled

The report is drawn from The COVID Project's Orders Library, which indexes the governmental orders that limited commerce, travel and group meetings in the United States from March 2020 through September 30, 2021. The Library is organized in layers, and the report walks them in order for your selection: the federal layer (proclamations, executive orders, agency orders and rules, and the federal courts' general orders); your State, from its first declaration to the instrument that ended its general restrictions; your metropolitan area's health officers, mayors and courts; the sector regulators of your industry (licensing boards, health departments, alcohol and gaming regulators, labor agencies and federal program rules); the clusters of authorities that are easy to overlook (ports, aviation, courts, motor-vehicle offices, tribal and territorial governments); the standing duties of your State and of the United States (communicable-disease, workplace-safety and liability-shield statutes); and the organizers' notices of the trade shows, conventions, seasons and tournaments your industry lost.

Every record carries one of two grades, and the report shows only these two. Primary source read means the compiler read the issuing authority's own text: the order as published, the register page, the codified rule, the court's docket entry. Confirmed from a secondary source means the instrument's existence, number, date and substance were established from an identifiable secondary source and the primary text was not read. Records graded unverified or not retrieved never appear. Every exhibit was retrieved from the issuing authority's site or from the Internet Archive's capture of it, kept only if its text contained a distinctive phrase of the instrument, hashed at retrieval and re-checked by a second reviewer.

Every instrument has one exhibit identifier, used everywhere on the site and in this report. A State instrument carries its two-letter State code and a serial number (Ex. TX-004 is Texas Executive Order GA-09 of March 22, 2020); a metropolitan instrument carries MET and the metro code; a federal instrument carries FED; a sector regulator's instrument carries SEC and the industry number, and an organizer's notice adds GM; an overlooked authority carries AGY and its cluster; a standing duty carries DUT and the State code, or DUT-FED (Ex. DUT-FED-001 is the general duty clause of the Occupational Safety and Health Act); a legal authority carries LAW.

The dates decide the quarters. An instrument is in force in a quarter only if its effective date fell on or before the quarter's last day and its end date, if any, fell on or after the quarter's first day. The six quarters are the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021. Because the CARES Act applies to wages paid after March 12, 2020, and the Service's Form 941-X instructions place the credit for wages paid March 13 through March 31, 2020 on the second-quarter return, the orders of March 13 through 31, 2020, the first stay-at-home and closure orders in the country, appear in the record of the second quarter of 2020.

4. The orders, quarter by quarter

For each quarter selected, the instruments in force appear by layer: the federal layer (the Library's FED-A and FED-B files, including the federal court orders they hold), the State, the metropolitan area, the industry's regulators, and the agencies, boards and authorities whose orders resolve to the State. Within a layer the instruments that carry the industry's key limitation types come first, then the rest in date order. An instrument in force across several quarters is described in full where it first appears and listed in compact form in each later quarter. Every item carries its citation and its exhibit identifier.

CMS, in collaboration with medical societies and associations, recently created recommendations to postpone non-essential surgeries and other procedures. This document provides recommendations to limit those medical services that could be deferred, such as non-emergent, elective treatment, and preventive medical services for patients of all ages. A tiered framework is recommended to prioritize services and care to those who require emergent or urgent attention to save a life, manage severe disease, or avoid further harms from an underlying condition.... CMS urges healthcare facilities and clinicians to consider the following tiered approach to curtailing non-emergent, elective medical services and treatment.

To expand capacity to care for these patients and to conserve adequate staff and supplies, especially personal protective equipment (PPE), on March 18 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recommended limiting non-essential care and expanding surge capacity into ambulatory surgical centers and other areas.... Therefore, if states or regions have passed the Gating Criteria (symptoms, cases, and hospitals) announced on April 16, 2020, then they may proceed to Phase I.... Maximum use of all telehealth modalities is strongly encouraged. However, for care that cannot be accomplished virtually, these recommendations -- the first in a series of recommendations -- may guide healthcare systems and facilities as they consider resuming in-person care of non-COVID-19 patients in regions with low incidence of COVID-19 disease.

End of general restrictions, State of Ohio: Director's Second Amended Order for Social Distancing, Facial Coverings and Non-Congregating (May 17, 2021), para. 14 (self-terminating), and Director's Order Rescinding Various Orders (signed June 1, 2021, effective 12:01 a.m. June 2, 2021) (2021-06-02). What remained: Director's Amended Orders for the Testing of the Residents and Staff of all Nursing Homes and of all Residential Care Facilities (May 4, 2021; Ex. OH-049, OH-071), rescinded effective July 1, 2022 (Ex.

OH-045); HB 244 (signed July 14, 2021; effective October 13, 2021; Ex. OH-064).

Preemption of local orders, State of Ohio: Ohio did not preempt local COVID-19 orders during the ERC period. The Director's orders expressly preserved stricter local law: the Stay at Home Tonight order states that it 'is not intended to supersede, supplant or preempt any order or law of a local jurisdiction that is more restrictive than this Order' (Ex. OH-039 para. 5), and the Second Amended Social Distancing order of May 17, 2021 repeats the clause (Ex. OH-048, preamble). The entertainment-venue and sports orders invited 'local public officials' to impose 'additional and more restrictive limitations' (Ex. OH-034 para. 1; Ex. OH-033 para. 1). Dayton, Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland enacted mask ordinances in July 2020 before the statewide order (Dayton adopted July 2, 2020, effective 8:00 a.m. July 3, 2020, repealed May 20, 2021; verified_secondary). SB 22, effective June 23, 2021 (Ex. OH-045), changed the allocation of authority prospectively: the General Assembly may rescind any ODH special or standing order by concurrent resolution (R.C. 101.36), an emergency declaration lapses after thirty days without legislative extension (R.C. 107.42), and a board of health of a city or general health district 'may only issue a quarantine or isolation order... that applies to individuals who have been medically diagnosed with the disease... or individuals who have come in direct contact with someone who has been medically diagnosed' (R.C. 3707.11), with any class-wide board-of-health order 'invalid' (R.C. 3707.54, 3709.212). SB 22 did not reach municipal legislative ordinances; Dayton's City Commission adopted an indoor mask ordinance on September 15, 2021 (Ex. OH-094, OH-095) and Columbus City Council acted the same week (metro CMH). HB 244 (Ex. OH-064), effective October 13, 2021 (after the period), barred public schools and State institutions of higher education from requiring a vaccine lacking full FDA approval.

End of general restrictions, State of Ohio: Director's Second Amended Order for Social Distancing, Facial Coverings and Non-Congregating (May 17, 2021), para. 14 (self-terminating), and Director's Order Rescinding Various Orders (signed June 1, 2021, effective 12:01 a.m. June 2, 2021) (2021-06-02). What remained: Director's Amended Orders for the Testing of the Residents and Staff of all Nursing Homes and of all Residential Care Facilities (May 4, 2021; Ex. OH-049, OH-071), rescinded effective July 1, 2022 (Ex. OH-073); the Seventh Amended Order to Permit Access to Ohio's Nursing Homes and the Amended Order to Permit Access to Residential Care Facilities (March 22, 2021; Ex. OH-075), rescinded at 12:01 p.m. June 18, 2021 (Ex. OH-051); the Director's Order to Facilities to Notify Residents of Positive Cases (Ex. OH-017) and other orders tied to the state of emergency, which ended June 18, 2021 (EO 2021-08D, Ex. OH-052); the Director's Journal Entry on COVID-19 reporting requirements under R.C. 3701.14 and 3701.23 (Ex. OH-072); SB 22 (effective June 23, 2021; Ex. OH-045); HB 244 (signed July 14, 2021; effective October 13, 2021; Ex. OH-064).

Preemption of local orders, State of Ohio: Ohio did not preempt local COVID-19 orders during the ERC period. The Director's orders expressly preserved stricter local law: the Stay at Home Tonight order states that it 'is not intended to supersede, supplant or preempt any order or law of a local jurisdiction that is more restrictive than this Order' (Ex. OH-039 para. 5), and the Second Amended Social Distancing order of May 17, 2021 repeats the clause (Ex. OH-048, preamble). The entertainment-venue and sports orders invited 'local public officials' to impose 'additional and more restrictive limitations' (Ex. OH-034 para. 1; Ex. OH-033 para. 1). Dayton, Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland enacted mask ordinances in July 2020 before the statewide order (Dayton adopted July 2, 2020, effective 8:00 a.m. July 3, 2020, repealed May 20, 2021; verified_secondary). SB 22, effective June 23, 2021 (Ex. OH-045), changed the allocation of authority prospectively: the General Assembly may rescind any ODH special or standing order by concurrent resolution (R.C. 101.36), an emergency declaration lapses after thirty days without legislative extension (R.C. 107.42), and a board of health of a city or general health district 'may only issue a quarantine or isolation order... that applies to individuals who have been medically diagnosed with the disease... or individuals who have come in direct contact with someone who has been medically diagnosed' (R.C. 3707.11), with any class-wide board-of-health order 'invalid' (R.C. 3707.54, 3709.212). SB 22 did not reach municipal legislative ordinances; Dayton's City Commission adopted an indoor mask ordinance on September 15, 2021 (Ex. OH-094, OH-095) and Columbus City Council acted the same week (metro CMH). HB 244 (Ex. OH-064), effective October 13, 2021 (after the period), barred public schools and State institutions of higher education from requiring a vaccine lacking full FDA approval.

What remained: Director's Amended Orders for the Testing of the Residents and Staff of all Nursing Homes and of all Residential Care Facilities (May 4, 2021; Ex.

Preemption of local orders, State of Ohio: Ohio did not preempt local COVID-19 orders during the ERC period. The Director's orders expressly preserved stricter local law: the Stay at Home Tonight order states that it 'is not intended to supersede, supplant or preempt any order or law of a local jurisdiction that is more restrictive than this Order' (Ex. OH-039 para. 5), and the Second Amended Social Distancing order of May 17, 2021 repeats the clause (Ex. OH-048, preamble). The entertainment-venue and sports orders invited 'local public officials' to impose 'additional and more restrictive limitations' (Ex. OH-034 para. 1; Ex. OH-033 para. 1). Dayton, Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland enacted mask ordinances in July 2020 before the statewide order (Dayton adopted July 2, 2020, effective 8:00 a.m. July 3, 2020, repealed May 20, 2021; verified_secondary). SB 22, effective June 23, 2021 (Ex. OH-045), changed the allocation of authority prospectively: the General Assembly may rescind any ODH special or standing order by concurrent resolution (R.C. 101.36), an emergency declaration lapses after thirty days without legislative extension (R.C. 107.42), and a board of health of a city or general health district 'may only issue a quarantine or isolation order... that applies to individuals who have been medically diagnosed with the disease... or individuals who have come in direct contact with someone who has been medically diagnosed' (R.C. 3707.11), with any class-wide board-of-health order 'invalid' (R.C. 3707.54, 3709.212). SB 22 did not reach municipal legislative ordinances; Dayton's City Commission adopted an indoor mask ordinance on September 15, 2021 (Ex. OH-094, OH-095) and Columbus City Council acted the same week (metro CMH). HB 244 (Ex. OH-064), effective October 13, 2021 (after the period), barred public schools and State institutions of higher education from requiring a vaccine lacking full FDA approval.

5. Standing duties in Ohio

Ohio governed the pandemic through the Governor's Executive Order 2020-01D of March 9, 2020 (Ex. OH-001) and a chain of Director's Orders of the Ohio Department of Health issued under R.C. 3701.13. The version of R.C. 3701.13 in force from September 29, 2013 through June 22, 2021 (Ex. DUT-OH-001) gave the Department 'ultimate authority in matters of quarantine and isolation, which it may declare and enforce' and the power to 'make special or standing orders or rules... for preventing the spread of contagious or infectious diseases'; R.C. 3701.14(A) (Ex. DUT-OH-003) commanded the Director to 'take prompt action to control and suppress' epidemic and pandemic disease and made 'the sanitary conditions and effects of localities and employments' a subject of the Director's duty. Sub. S.B. 22 (Ex. OH-045), passed over the Governor's veto on March 24, 2021 and effective June 23, 2021, rewrote R.C. 3701.13 (Ex. DUT-OH-002) to subject the Department's 'special or standing orders or rules for preventing the spread of contagious or infectious diseases' to legislative rescission under new R.C. 101.36, and confined local boards of health to orders on diagnosed or exposed individuals; the power itself survived, and the nursing-home and residential-care testing orders issued under it ran to July 1, 2022 (Exs. OH-049, OH-071, OH-073). The compulsion behind every order was criminal: R.C. 3701.352 (Ex. DUT-OH-004) forbade any person to violate any Department rule or order issued 'to prevent a threat to the public caused by a pandemic, epidemic, or bioterrorism event'; R.C. 3701.99(C) (Ex. DUT-OH-005) made the violation a misdemeanor of the second degree (up to ninety days and $750, R.C. 2929.24(A)(2), 2929.28(A)(2)(a)(ii), as every order recited from April 2, 2020, Ex. OH-014 para. 18); R.C. 3701.56 (Ex. DUT-OH-006) commanded boards of health, 'police officers, sheriffs, constables, and other officers and employees of the state or any county, city, or township' to enforce quarantine and isolation orders and the Department's rules; and R.C. 3701.28 (Ex. DUT-OH-016) let the Director authorize State officers to enforce the orders where local authorities did not, the authority the Director invoked to make the Bureau of Workers' Compensation Retail Compliance Unit an inspecting and enforcing arm of the Department (Ex. OH-037 para. 12). The local layer carried its own commands and penalties: boards of health 'shall abate and remove all nuisances,' may 'by order, compel the owners, agents, assignees, occupants, or tenants of any lot, property, building, or structure to abate and remove any nuisance therein,' and may declare any 'premises, business, pursuit' in 'a condition dangerous to life or health' a public nuisance and order it 'removed, abated, suspended, altered, or otherwise improved or purified' (R.C. 3707.01, Ex. DUT-OH-008); 'No person shall violate... any order or regulation of the board of health' (R.C. 3707.48, Ex. DUT-OH-009; penalty R.C. 3707.99(B), Ex. DUT-OH-010); general health districts may adopt orders 'for the public health, the prevention or restriction of disease' and declare them emergency measures in epidemics (R.C. 3709.21, Ex. DUT-OH-011; penalty of $100 or ninety days under R.C. 3709.99(A), Ex. DUT-OH-012, with the twenty-day cure period suspended in an epidemic). Two standing duties reached the employer's premises directly and independently of any order. R.C. 3701.81(C) (Ex. DUT-OH-007), a criminal statute since 1974, forbids any person 'having charge of a... place of public accommodation, amusement, resort, or trade' who has reasonable cause to believe that persons using the place 'have been or are being exposed to a dangerous, contagious disease' to 'negligently fail to take reasonable measures to protect the public from exposure to the contagion'; the penalty is the same second-degree misdemeanor (R.C. 3701.99(C)). R.C. 4101.11 and 4101.12 (Exs. DUT-OH-013, DUT-OH-014), the 'frequenter statutes' in force since 1953, command every employer to furnish a place of employment 'safe for the employees therein and for frequenters thereof,' to 'adopt and use methods and processes, follow and obey orders,' and to 'do every other thing reasonably necessary to protect the life, health, safety, and welfare of such employees and frequenters,' and forbid any employer to 'fail to obey and follow orders' or to 'occupy, or maintain any place of employment that is not safe'; the Supreme Court of Ohio holds that the statute codifies the common-law duty of an owner or occupier to invitees, 'requiring that the premises be kept in a reasonably safe condition' (Eicher v. United States Steel Corp., 32 Ohio St.3d 248 (1987), Ex. DUT-OH-017). Ohio is a federal-OSHA State for private employers (its State plan, R.C. Chapter 4167, covers public employers only), so 29 U.S.C. 654(a)(1) (Ex. DUT-AL-009) supplied the federal general duty alongside R.C. 4101.11. The sanitation regime made compliance a condition of the food-service license: a licensor 'may suspend or revoke a food service operation license' for 'documented failure to maintain sanitary conditions,' and may act without prior notice where a violation 'presents an immediate danger to the public health' (R.C. 3717.49, Ex. DUT-OH-015; the parallel retail-food provision is R.C. 3717.29). The reopening orders then wrote the pandemic protocols into the condition of operating: the Stay Safe Ohio Order made every reopening 'subject to the Sector Specific COVID-19 Information and Checklist' and provided that 'Businesses must require all employees to wear facial coverings' (Ex. OH-019 paras. 8, 10-12); the Dine Safe Ohio Order permitted dine-in service only 'so long as all workplace safety standards are met' (Ex. OH-020 para. 2); the Updated and Revised Order for Business Guidance and Social Distancing of May 29, 2020, in force to April 5, 2021, provided that 'All businesses and operations shall continue to comply with Social Distancing Requirements,' that 'Business and employers are to take the following actions,' including 'Comply with all applicable guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Ohio Department of Health regarding social distancing,' and wrote the sector checklists into the order in terms: 'Ensure minimum 6 feet between people, if not possible, install barriers'; 'Businesses must require all employees to wear facial coverings'; 'Employees must perform daily symptom assessment' (Ex. OH-025 paras. 2, 12-15); the Second Order to Extend of July 6, 2020 provided that the posted sector requirements 'are then to be considered incorporated by reference as if fully rewritten into the Order' (Ex. OH-098 para. 2); and the Retail and Business Compliance order of November 13, 2020 provided that no retailer 'shall be open for business or operate unless in compliance with this Order as well as all other applicable ODH Orders,' with closure of the premises for up to twenty-four hours on a notice of violation (Ex. OH-037 paras. 1, 9). The same orders record their recommendations as recommendations: 'Businesses should strongly encourage as many employees as possible to work from home' (Ex. OH-019 para. 11); 'Personnel should work from home when possible and feasible with business operations' (Ex. OH-025 para. 15). The civil-immunity act, Am. Sub. H.B. 606 (Ex. DUT-OH-020), applies retroactively from March 9, 2020 through September 30, 2021, bars civil actions for exposure to or transmission of SARS-CoV-2 'unless it is established that the exposure to, or the transmission or contraction of, any of those viruses or mutations was by reckless conduct or intentional misconduct or willful or wanton misconduct,' defines 'reckless conduct' as disregard, 'with heedless indifference to the consequences,' of 'a substantial and unjustifiable risk' of transmission (sec. 2(D)(3)), and provides that 'A government order, recommendation, or guideline shall neither create nor be construed as creating a duty of care upon any person' in tort (sec. 2(B)); its Section 4 applies the act to 'acts, omissions, conduct, decisions, or compliance' in that window.

The phase question

Whether the measures Ohio employers took that went beyond the four corners of the closure and stay-home orders were 'voluntary' in the sense of Notice 2021-20 Q&A-14 (an employer that suspends or reduces operations 'not due to a governmental order'). Answer: they were not. Every Ohio reopening order let a business operate only on conditions ('may reopen, subject to the Sector Specific COVID-19 Information and Checklist,' Ex. OH-019 para. 10; 'permitted to reopen... so long as all workplace safety standards are met,' Ex. OH-020 para. 2; 'no store, retail business or other enterprise in Ohio offering goods in person to the public... shall be open for business or operate unless in compliance with this Order,' Ex. OH-037 para. 1), and R.C. 3701.352 made violation of any such order a crime: 'No person shall violate any rule the director of health or department of health adopts or any order the director or department of health issues under this chapter to prevent a threat to the public caused by a pandemic, epidemic, or bioterrorism event' (Ex. DUT-OH-004), a misdemeanor of the second degree under R.C. 3701.99(C) (Ex. DUT-OH-005), enforceable by every board of health, police officer, sheriff and constable under R.C. 3701.56 (Ex. DUT-OH-006). Throughout all six quarters R.C. 4101.11 bound every employer to furnish a place of employment 'safe for the employees therein and for frequenters thereof,' to 'follow and obey orders' and to 'do every other thing reasonably necessary to protect the life, health, safety, and welfare of such employees and frequenters' (Ex. DUT-OH-013), R.C. 3701.81(C) bound every person having charge of a 'place of public accommodation, amusement, resort, or trade' to 'take reasonable measures to protect the public from exposure to the contagion' (Ex. DUT-OH-007), and the boards of health held the power to declare any 'premises, business, pursuit' in 'a condition dangerous to life or health' a public nuisance and order it 'suspended' (Ex. DUT-OH-008). Ohio's civil-immunity act, Am. Sub. H.B. 606, is recorded exactly as written: it conditions the shield on the absence of 'reckless conduct or intentional misconduct or willful or wanton misconduct' and, unlike the Texas and Georgia acts, provides that a government order, recommendation or guideline 'shall neither create nor be construed as creating a duty of care' in tort (Ex. DUT-OH-020 secs. 2(A), 2(B)); the act governs tort exposure only, leaves the criminal duties of R.C. 3701.352 and 3707.48 and the statutory duty of R.C. 4101.11 untouched, and by its own Section 4 applies to the 'compliance' of Ohio businesses from March 9, 2020 through September 30, 2021.

A.3. When may an ADA-covered employer take the body temperature of employees during the COVID-19 pandemic? Generally, measuring an employee's body temperature is a medical examination. Because the CDC and state/local health authorities have acknowledged community spread of COVID-19 and issued attendant precautions, employers may measure employees' body temperature.... an individual with the virus will pose a direct threat to the health of others. Therefore an employer may choose to administer COVID-19 testing to employees before initially permitting them to enter the workplace... An employer may require employees to wear protective gear (for example, masks and gloves) and observe infection control practices (for example, regular hand washing and social distancing protocols).

Applying this standard to the current circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, employers may take screening steps to determine if employees entering the workplace have COVID-19 because an individual with the virus will pose a direct threat to the health of others. Therefore an employer may choose to administer COVID-19 testing to employees before initially permitting them to enter the workplace and/or periodically to determine if their presence in the workplace poses a direct threat to others.... An employer may exclude those with COVID-19, or symptoms associated with COVID-19, from the workplace because, as EEOC has stated, their presence would pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others.

Unless otherwise required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, most employers no longer need to take steps to protect their fully vaccinated workers who are not otherwise at-risk from COVID-19 exposure.... CDC advises that most fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing masks or physically distancing, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.

6. Partial suspension, element by element, for this business

This section applies the five-step test of section 3 to a business in Ohio with the instruments this report found for the quarters selected and no others: the order; the function of the business it reached; the change it compelled, in its own words; the days of the quarter on which it was in force; and the statute's answer. Where the Library holds only federal-layer and standing-duty instruments for a quarter, the section says so and applies the test to those instruments.

Second quarter of 2020 (Apr. 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020; orders from Mar. 13, 2020)

Step one, the orders. In the second quarter of 2020 the Library holds 273 instruments in force for this selection: 42 instruments from the State of Ohio (Amy Acton, MD, MPH, Director, Ohio Department of Health, Director's Stay Safe Ohio Order (Apr. 30, 2020) (Ex. OH-019); Amy Acton, MD, MPH, Director, Ohio Department of Health, Ohio Director's Stay at Home Order (Mar. 22, 2020) secs. 12(k), 15 (Ex. OH-011); Amy Acton, MD, MPH, Director, Ohio Department of Health, Amended Director's Stay At Home Order (Apr. 2, 2020) (Ex. OH-014); and 39 more), 7 instruments from the agencies, boards and authorities of Ohio (Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission, Ohio Turnpike travel advisory, Mar. 15, 2020 5:03 p.m.: 'In accordance with state's order, food concession operators in all Ohio Turnpike service plazas are immediately moving to carryout only sales.

AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-087); Ohio Casino Control Commission, Commission news release: Ohio Casinos & Racinos Permitted to Reopen June 19 (June 5, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-088); and 4 more), 179 federal instruments (The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Guidelines for Opening Up America Again (Apr. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-192); CMS, Quality, Safety & Oversight Group, QSO-20-14-NH, Guidance for Infection Control and Prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Nursing Homes (Mar. 9, 2020; REVISED Mar. 13, 2020) (Ex. FED-097); The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force (with CDC), The President's Coronavirus Guidelines for America: 15 Days to Slow the Spread (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-190); and 176 more) and 45 standing duties (Congress (Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, § 5, Pub. L. 91-596, 84 Stat. 1593), 29 U.S.C. 654 (OSH Act § 5, the general duty clause) (standing) (Ex. DUT-FED-001); Congress (OSH Act § 11(c)), 29 U.S.C. 660(c) (OSH Act § 11(c), anti-retaliation) (standing) (Ex. DUT-FED-002); and 43 more). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions, in the Library's own labels: GATH (Ex. OH-019); CB (Ex. OH-014); EC child care (Ex. OH-065); WF (Ex. OH-014); BQ banquets (Ex. OH-020); IN in-person instruction (Ex. OH-003); WF workforce (Ex. OH-011); WF workforce of every employer (Ex. OH-065); DR dining room (Ex. OH-020); FC facilities (Ex. OH-006).

Step three, the change compelled. Amy Acton, MD, MPH, Director, Ohio Department of Health, Director's Stay Safe Ohio Order (Apr. 30, 2020) (Ex. OH-019) ordered: "3. Stay at home or place of residence. With exceptions as outlined below, all individuals currently living within the State of Ohio are ordered to stay at home or at their place of residence except as allowed in this Order.... 4. Prohibited activities.... Any gathering of more than ten people is…" Enforcement: Para. 18: R.C. 3701.352 quoted; R.C. 3701.56 quoted ('[b]oards of health... police officers, sheriffs, constables, and other officers and employees of the state… Amy Acton, MD, MPH, Director, Ohio Department of Health, Ohio Director's Stay at Home Order (Mar. 22, 2020) secs. 12(k), 15 (Ex. OH-011) ordered: "1. Stay at home or place of residence. With exceptions as outlined below, all individuals currently living within the State of Ohio are ordered to stay at home or at their place of residence except as allowed in this Order.... 2. Non-essential business and operations must cease. All businesses and…" Enforcement: Para. 17: 'This Order may be enforced by State and local law enforcement to the extent set forth in Ohio law'; R.C. 3701.352 and 3701.99(C) apply by statute… Amy Acton, MD, MPH, Director, Ohio Department of Health, Amended Director's Stay At Home Order (Apr. 2, 2020) (Ex. OH-014) ordered: "1. Stay at home or place of residence. With exceptions as outlined below, all individuals currently living within the State of Ohio are ordered to stay at home or at their place of residence except as allowed in this Order.... 2. Non-essential business and operations must cease.... 4.... However…" Enforcement: Paras. 17-18 (quoted): R.C. 3701.352; R.C. 3701.56; misdemeanor of the second degree, $750 and 90 days; para. 23 Dispute Resolution Commission The operative words of every other instrument of the quarter are quoted in section 5.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from Mar. 13, 2020 to June 30, 2020, 110 days. Director's Stay Safe Ohio Order (Ex. OH-019) was in force from May 1, 2020 to May 29, 2020, 29 of the quarter's 110 days; Ohio Director's Stay at Home Order (Mar. 22, 2020) secs. 12(k), 15 (Ex. OH-011) was in force from Mar. 23, 2020 to Apr. 6, 2020, 15 of the quarter's 110 days; Amended Director's Stay At Home Order (Ex. OH-014) was in force from Apr. 6, 2020 to May 1, 2020, 26 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 49 instruments in the quarter's record, 5 were in force on its first day, 33 on its last day and 4 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of the business; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the second quarter of 2020 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

Third quarter of 2020 (July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020)

Step one, the orders. In the third quarter of 2020 the Library holds 261 instruments in force for this selection: 42 instruments from the State of Ohio (Amy Acton, MD, MPH, Director, Ohio Department of Health, Amended Director's Order to Limit and/or Prohibit Mass Gatherings and the Closure of Venues in the State of Ohio (Mar. 17, 2020) (Ex.

Banquet and…" Enforcement: R.C. 3701.352 and 3701.99(C) in the standard form The operative words of every other instrument of the quarter are quoted in section 5.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from Jan. 1, 2021 to Mar. 31, 2021, 90 days. Director's Order that Reopens Gyms, Dance Instruction Studios, and Other Personal Fitness… (Ex. OH-023) was in force from May 26, 2020 to June 30, 2021, 90 of the quarter's 90 days; Director's Amended Order Limiting County Fairs to Junior Fair Activities and Animal… (Ex.

Of the 41 instruments in the quarter's record, 30 were in force on its first day, 29 on its last day and 23 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of the business; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the first quarter of 2021 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

8. How to use this report

Keep this report with your payroll records and the other records that support your claim. The Notice itself describes what those records are. Q&A-70 says an employer "will adequately substantiate eligibility for the employee retention credit if the employer creates and maintains records that include," among other things, "any governmental order to suspend the employer's business operations" and "any records the employer relied upon to determine whether more than a nominal portion of its operations were suspended due to a governmental order or whether a governmental order had more than a nominal effect on its business operations" (Notice 2021-20, 2021-11 I.R.B. 922, Q&A-70, at 944-45). Q&A-71 says to keep those records "for at least 4 years after the date the tax becomes due or is paid, whichever comes later" (Q&A-71, at 945). This report is the first of those two items for your selection, and it is meant to sit beside the second.

If you have received a letter from the Service saying that no government orders were in effect during the quarter you claimed, this report answers that sentence with the public record, order by order. Read the quarter you claimed. For each instrument, the report gives you the issuer, the number, the dates, the words that commanded the change, the penalty behind them and the exhibit. Those are facts about the public record, and anyone can check them against the register, the code or the docket the report cites. The Service is free to argue about how much a given order affected your business. Whether the orders existed is not a matter of opinion.

Three points of public law matter to anyone holding such a letter. First, a notice that turns down a refund claim starts a clock. Under section 6532(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, a refund suit cannot be brought "after the expiration of 2 years from the date of mailing by certified mail or registered mail by the Secretary to the taxpayer of a notice of the disallowance of the part of the claim to which the suit or proceeding relates." Second, asking the IRS Independent Office of Appeals to review the letter does not stop that clock; the Service's own page on the letter says so ("Requesting an appeal doesn't extend this time"), and section 6532(a)(4) provides that the Service's later consideration of the claim does not extend the period. Third, the period can be extended only by a written agreement between you and the Service under section 6532(a)(2), made on Form 907, Agreement to Extend the Time to Bring Suit, and effective only if the Service signs it before the two years run out.
