"More information sharing and enforcement by OSHA and state agencies could better protect workers from COVID-19.
Workplaces are a significant source of infection for COVID-19, as shown not only by the illnesses of health care workers, but also by the tens of thousands of positive cases and roughly 200 deaths at meatpacking plants. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has responsibilities for keeping employees safe at work, but it has played a fairly limited role in addressing COVID-19."
