The Chamber sent a letter to the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry encouraging it not make permanent the Emergency Temporary Standard for COVID-19 Prevention. The standard falls short of the goal of consistent workplace health protection protocols. Making this standard permanent and potentially adding provisions could place a significant burden on businesses that continue to struggle with the economic consequences of this pandemic.
Rapid COVID-19 testing is essential for smooth functioning of businesses and other important facets of society such as schools. The Chamber encouraged the Arlington County Board to allocate a portion of Arlington County's funding under the CARES Act to purchase rapid saliva tests for COVID-19, and to share those tests (or sell at cost, if possible) with businesses, nonprofits, and other community groups.

According to a recent Greater Washington Partnership survey of 430 businesses, more than 70% of DC area offices report they may not return to work full-time until next summer. This means even if you begin a gradual return your office building, Zoom and other virtual meetings will be a large part of most people’s work life, not to mention the networking, seminars, and other groups that rely on virtual meetings to maintain contact.
