Executive Order 122 (Requiring Face Coverings, Gloves, and Social Distancing & Disinfecting Protocols) Is Still in Place:

Executive Order 122 signed by Governor Murphy requires employers to provide face coverings and gloves to employees who are still reporting to the workplace, and not working from home.

The executive order mandates that as of 6:00 a.m. on November 5th, all employers, at minimum, require individuals at the worksite to maintain at least six feet of distance from others to the maximum extent possible and require employees and visitors to wear masks when entering the worksite, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Other protocols require employers to:

• Provide approved sanitization materials to employees and visitors at no cost to those individuals.

• Ensure that employees practice hand hygiene and provide sufficient break time for that purpose.

• Routinely clean and disinfect all high-touch areas in accordance with DOH and CDC guidelines.

• Conduct daily health checks, such as temperature screenings, visual symptom checking, self-

assessment checklists, and/or health questionnaires, prior to each shift, consistent with CDC guidance.

• Exclude sick employees from the workplace and follow requirements of applicable leave laws.

• Promptly notify employees of any known exposure to COVID-19 at the worksite.
