The COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly developing, with media coverage focusing on its public health, economic and societal impact. Employers have been thrust into reactive mode as they deal with the pandemic's impact on the workplace, and many are perplexed about what they legally can and should do to respond, particularly given the Ontario government's order that all non-essential workplaces close and evolving requirements and changes in the law.
