On April 7, 2020, the governor of Connecticut issued Executive Order No. 7V (βEO 7Vβ) which, among other things, requires every workplace in the state to take additional protective measures to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 between and among employees, customers, and other people authorized to enter the workplace. Governor Lamont directed the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development (in consultation with the Commissioner of Public Health) to issue “legally binding statewide rules” prescribing additional protective measures, which are mandatory to all essential businesses and nonprofits and any other business or nonprofit permitted to operate across the state under EOs 7H and 7J.
