Spencer Fane attorney Jon Watson was recently featured in a Denver Business Journal article discussing legal and practical considerations for Denver employers following the recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated mask guidelines.
Titled “What Denver attorneys want employers to know about CDC mask guidance,” the article outlines best practices for employers related to workplace mask policies.
