> Colorado's second-highest court ruled for the first time on Thursday that COVID-19 is an "occupational disease" that entitled the widow of a deceased nursing home employee to workers' compensation benefits.
@trendless didn’t Congress already pre-empt this?
I recently tried to find anything that had actually passed and was permanent, outside of emergency declaration, and couldn't find it. There was a lot of talk around it, but I don't think any of it was put into law federally. Some states took up laws around COVID liabilities for businesses, though.
I welcome any information otherwise as I'd like to look through any laws that may have passed that I missed.
