EEOC Says No Mandatory Antibody Tests for COVID-19

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued revised guidance about COVID-19 and the Americans with Disabilities Act on June 17, 2020, stating that employers cannot force employees to undergo COVID-19 antibody testing before returning to work. The EEOC’s guidance follows the CDC’s interim guidelines stating that antibody test results “should not be used to make decisions about returning persons to the workplace.”
