Didn't see this bill was on the floor,

If the economy is ever going to reopen, employers are going to need some protections in the event an employee gets covid so that they aren't sued solely because of that.

I object to the final vote motion.

I would like to introduce an amendment so that employers also need to respect the COVID-19 safety laws
