Manufacturing facilities must adopt measures to protect workers from the spread of the virus in order to resume activity Monday. Some of those safety measures will include daily screening, temperature checks, and suspension of all non-essential facility visitors.
The Governor also announced that all businesses in the state must require masks to be worn when workers cannot consistently maintain six feet of separation. Manufacturers will need to train workers on how the virus is transmitted as well s its signs and symptoms.
