COVID-19 in Healthcare Environments (OSHA’s Emergency Temporary Standard)

Although the Coronavirus surfaced in the U.S. in early 2020, it feels like we’ve been living with it forever… in our workplaces, homes and communities as well as in the media and on the internet. The Coronavirus is a serious disease, and healthcare workers are one of the groups that have the highest risk of infection.

This “COVID-19 in Healthcare Environments (OSHA’s Emergency Temporary Standard)” course discusses the requirements in the Standard, the latest in vaccine mandates, and how you can guard against infection.
