- Providing all nurses and other frontline healthcare workers exposed to COVID-19 with optimal personal protective equipment, including respiratory protection, eye protection, protective clothing, and gloves.
- Protective requirements on notification of health care employees exposed to Covid-19 in the workplace, and provision of pay and benefits for those who must take time off as a result of exposure or infection.
- Mandates on screening and testing of patients and visitors, mask wearing, physical distancing, and ventilation.
