Public entity HR and risk professionals are tasked with making decisions on a daily basis for a variety of challenging developments caused by the ongoing spread of COVID 19 in every corner of the state.   This webcast will be completely scenario driven. We will use a set of realistic and practical scenarios, informed by current public health orders, foreseeable ebbs and flows with the spread of COVID 19 in many counties, and our ongoing hotline experience for all types of public entities in every corner of the state.

The webcast will guide you step by step through exactly what to do and how to document your decisions and actions. For those members who have yet to experience one of these issues, we will provide concrete and concise advice on strategies to prepare for foreseeable situations.

In particular, we will address the following common and foreseeable scenarios and provide concise and concrete guidance on what to do when any of the following occur:
