The COVID-19 pandemic has and continues to have a great impact on the workplace.

Experts from the U.S. Department of Labor and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission will discuss requirements and coverage under the FFCRA and the ADA, reasonable accommodations and direct threat under the ADA, and qualifying reasons and exclusions under the FFCRA.
