S09E01 - HR Rescue: What Businesses Should Do as CDC Loosens COVID-19 Mask Guidelines

As most states lift their mask mandates, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that the agency has adopted new metrics for determining whether to recommend face coverings – a shift that will result in most Americans no longer being advised to wear masks in indoor public settings. By moving away from looking solely at the number of COVID-19 cases in a given area but instead taking into account local hospitalizations and hospital capacity, the updated metrics will create room for businesses and employers to revisit their own approaches to masking policies.
