The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) updated its guidance on COVID-19, saying employees who have had the disease might be protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
COVID-19 cases that persist for more than a few weeks, along with impairments caused by the virus, can be classified as disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), according to the agency. It, however, stipulated that employers need to review whether the law applies to a worker on a case-by-case basis.
