    OSHA now plans to focus its resources on completion of an Infectious Diseases rulemaking for healthcare.

    This week, the Department of Labor announced that OSHA has terminated its COVID-19 healthcare rulemaking.

    In 2021, OSHA issued an Emergency Temporary Standard to protect workers from COVID-19 in healthcare settings. The ETS also served as a proposed rule on which OSHA requested comments, which it received from June 2021 through May 2022. OSHA submitted a draft final COVID-19 rule to the White House Office of Management and Budget in late 2022.

    On April 10, 2023, President Biden signed into law House Joint Resolution 7, which terminated the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    OSHA will focus resources on the completion of an Infectious Diseases rulemaking for health care.
