On June 17, 2020 the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) updated its ongoing FAQ on COVID-19 and stated that employers may not require antibody testing before permitting employees to re-enter the workplace.
Employers can still require temperature checks, symptom screening and even COVID-19 tests (i.e., a viral test) as a condition of employees entering the workplace, but cannot require antibody tests. This new guidance provides another reminder that the EEOC will continue to follow guidance from the CDC in its determinations regarding the legality of COVID-19 medical tests.
