Abstract

Given the different impact that the pandemic is having on individual communities across the country, the notion that all workers should be allowed to return to work on one date is unrealistic. Instead, individual states should make that determination. This article lays out a minimum set of conditions that should be met in an individual state and provides steps for how to return people to work in a safe way.
