The lack of a uniform federal response to the COVID-19 pandemic has left many employers in a difficult spot, as they scramble to stay up-to-date on mandates issued by various states, counties, and municipalities. Added to the mix are various liability shields that protect different industries, with different legal standards, and with different definitions of who’s covered. One industry at the top of the list for liability protection - and also for OSHA enforcement - is health care.

In this episode, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth’s Washington, DC office, talks to Dr. Nupe Mehta, health care executive and clinician, about the response to COVID-19 compared to past pandemics and how health care delivery may be affected moving forward.
