It provides guidance for employers to support the employment, health, and safety of all job applicants and employees, including qualified individuals with disabilities. It also recognizes that Title I of the ADA does not interfere with employers following advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other public health authorities on appropriate steps to take relating to the workplace.
