Question

write a paragraph in 150 words how you spend your summer vacation during pandemic period ​

Answer 1

Answer:

COVID-19 is the pandemic that keeps on giving. As the Fourth of July marks the start of the summer vacation season, more and more employees are going to be taking time off. State quarantine orders - until now perhaps only of passing interest - suddenly loom large. The reason is this: employees vacationing in states other than the one in which they work may trigger a mandatory 14-day state quarantine upon their return. What can you as an employer do? Here are some thoughts on how you can get control over these situations.

First, understand precisely what the order in effect in your state actually says. In Pierce Atwood’s jurisdictions, it looks like this:

Maine – 14-day self-quarantine mandatory except for essential workers, unless 1) employee can produce a negative PCR (virus, not antibody) test not older than 72 hours, or 2) travel was only to NH or VT

New Hampshire – Voluntary self-quarantine

Massachusetts – 14-day self-quarantine required except for essential workers and travelers from the other New England states, New York, and New Jersey

Rhode Island – 14-day self-quarantine if returning from a state that has a test-positive rate greater than 5%, unless the employee can produce a negative PCR (virus, not antibody) test not older than 72 hours

District of Columbia – 14-day self-quarantine should be followed upon return from travel to international locations or U.S. areas with widespread community transmission
