Is anyone aware of a requirement that a public employer (or any employer) report to a local, state, or federal agency if someone with Covid-19 has been in the employer's building? I know that medical providers have some obligations to report certain diseases. But what about a city, if someone at the city learns that someone in city hall had Covid-19? Or an employee with Covid-19 was working in city offices? Any legal requirement to report to CDC?

Thanks, Alison

No such requirement in Louisiana, though coordinating through parish (county) OEPs is strongly encouraged.

I am now hearing that if the COVID19 contraction is work-related, then there may be an OSHA reporting requirement.

Thanks, I was digging into OSHA (See link) on this when I learned that federal OSHA does not apply to local and state governments.
https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/covid-19/standards.html
Georgia does not have a "state plan" approved by OSHA. Instead, it seems to have a law that is limited to chemicals. https://www.blr.com/Workplace-Safety/Safety-Administration/OSHA--in-Georgia

Thanks to all!
