Massachusetts S1176 establishes occupational presumption for COVID-19 in frontline healthcare workers.
Massachusetts S1176 amends the general laws to establish an occupational presumption for COVID-19 in frontline healthcare workers. This means that any healthcare worker who contracts or is suspected of contracting COVID-19 on or before June 15, 2021, and experiences hospitalization, quarantine, or self-quarantine, will have their medical condition presumed to be work-related. This presumption qualifies them for protection under the relevant sections of the law.
