Employers’ Continued Use of Return-to-Work COVID-19 Testing Protocols Brought into Question
Until late July, the CDC offered a test-based or symptom-based strategy to govern the timing of “discontinuing isolation” for a person known or suspected to be infected with COVID-19. In an abrupt change in guidance, the CDC announced a test-based strategy is no longer recommended to determine when to discontinue home isolation, except in certain circumstances. The CDC now recommends following only a modified symptom-based strategy, which means:

On 16 July 2020 the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) invalidated the European Commission’s Implementing Decision on the EU-US Privacy Shield, without a transitional period, thus dealing a harsh blow to transatlantic data transfer.
In a no less sensational decision, the CJEU had already invalidated in 2015 the European Commission’s Implementing Decision on the predecessor to the EU-US Privacy Shield, the US/EU Safe Harbour Framework. Just a few months later, by a new Implementing Decision, the European Commission had certified the successor of the invalidated...

Many countries have restricted travel, preventing the entry of aliens who have recently traveled to nations with widespread COVID-19 outbreaks. Some countries have temporarily prohibited the entry of all aliens. Other countries are conducting mandatory quarantines of non-permanent residents arriving on international...

“Behind the Mask” is more than just a Fleetwood Mac album. It’s a science-based recommendation by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and even a requirement under a patchwork of state and local laws designed to stem the spread of the coronavirus. But what is an employer to do when an employee refuses to wear a face covering? What can an operator of a place of public accommodation do when a guest ignores the sign mandating face coverings?...

With air travel down to a minimum, and predictions on when it may go back to precrisis levels in uncertain territory, the aerospace industry will need to ramp down production for the foreseeable future. This is a startling scenario for a supply chain that has only seen business boom over the last couple of decades. Aided by flourishing demand from new markets such as China and a bounty of low-cost airlines launching in the US and Europe, the commercial...

On July 22, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) voted to adopt amendments (Amendments) to certain of its rules governing proxy solicitations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act).
