In an article published in the April 3 edition of the Washington Business Journal, Andrew Sherrod shares best practiced for employers dealing with staff members testing positive for the coronavirus.

Sherrod explains that the responsibility falls on the employers to stay abreast of new federal guidance, including from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “The rules of the road are changing, at times, by the hour,” says Sherrod.
