Executive orders extend protections for nursing homes, grocery store workers 

On Monday, the governor issued Executive Orders 2020-168 and 2020-169, extending existing safety measures, including 2 hours a week of reserved shopping time for vulnerable populations, to protect consumers and employees at grocery stores and pharmacies.   

Executive Order 2020-169 maintains infection control protocols in nursing homes and protects residents from eviction and employees from retaliatory action for staying home when exhibiting symptoms.  Executive Order 2020-169 continues through Sept. 7.   

Executive Order 2020-168, which continues through Sept. 7, extends the following health and safety rules for grocery stores and pharmacies, among others:  

  • Grocery stores and pharmacies must allocate at least two hours per week of shopping time for vulnerable populations.  
  • If an employee tests positive for COVID-19, the business must notify other employees without infringing on private health information.  
  • Grocery stores and pharmacies must offer accommodations to vulnerable employees, such as low-risk assignments or a leave of absence.
