Cecily Barclay and Ann Marie Painter were quoted in the Risk & Insurance article, "3 Critical Questions You Need to Ask Before Testing Employees for COVID-19," regarding how employers can implement COVID-19 testing or screening procedures as they reopen and tips to help organizations avoid putting themselves at legal risk in the process.

“Many United States businesses are finding themselves in a bit of do-it-yourself role when it comes to public health and the COVID-19 response,” said Cecily during “COVID-19 Testing in the Workplace: What You Need to Know Before Testing Begins,” a cross-practice webinar presented by Perkins Coie.

Ann Marie stressed that COVID-19 testing is not required: “Currently, we’re unaware of any state or regulation that actually mandates testing by employers,” Ann Marie said.
