Key updates include:
- A new section on preparing workplaces for COVID-19, which addresses layouts and ventilation.
- Additional guidance on when and where face coverings should be worn and how to de-escalate confrontations over policy.
- Additional information on addressing employee personal hygiene and health, including updates on front-of-house glove use (discouraged) and what to do when an employee has been exposed to COVID-19 or tests positive.
- Updated guidance on providing ServSafe Food Handler training, and access to free ServSafe COVID-19 training videos for all employees.
