In the absence of enforceable federal standards, retailers have created a patchwork system as the outbreak worsens and workers' fears of contracting the virus on the job intensify.

Walmart and Amazon announced last week that they plan to start taking employees' temperatures before they come into work and provide masks and gloves if workers want to wear them. Target said it will provide workers with masks and gloves and will"strongly encourage that they be worn while working." But it's not taking workers' temperatures.

The Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which enforces workplace safety law, has issued guidance on preparing for coronavirus. But the guidance from OSHA is"not a standard or regulation and it creates no new legal obligations" for companies to fulfill. The recommendations OSHA provides are"advisory in nature."OSHA has issued limited guidance to retailers and grocery stores.
