In the weeks since the COVID-19 outbreak began, there has been an unprecedented onslaught of laws, regulations, guidance and other special provisions addressing how nursing facilities and other health care providers must handle their employees. From the well-publicized Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) to rules from other state and federal agencies, it is easy for employers to lose track of all the new requirements.
