Less than half of US workers in non–health care fields had COVID-19 prevention measures in place at work as of June 2020, based on an online of 4000 US, nonremote workers.
The CDC that workers who aren’t able to work remotely use physical barriers, cloth face masks, or other personal protective equipment to prevent COVID-19 transmission. In addition, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration may also require protective measures. Yet only about 46% of employees with in-person jobs outside of the health care sector used COVID-19 preventive measures; among them, about 56% worked for employers that mandated precautions, according to the CDC-commissioned survey. About three-quarters of workers who reported not using COVID-19 prevention measures at work said they didn’t think they were needed.
