Covid 19: Kentucky Surveillance of Work-related COVID-19 Cases: Scope: COVIDWSH

The Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance (KOSHS) Program is proposing to utilize the Worker Safety and Health (WSH) supplement to expand KOSHS surveillance to identify work related COVID-19 cases within the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Through analysis of multiple existing data sets, KOSHS WSH will identify hotspot areas throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Within each county hotspot, the program will identify key industries potentially impacted by COVID-19 and conduct semi-structured interviews to understand industry specific actions during the COVID-19 pandemic and the policies and practices in place to allow for a safe return to work and to prevent or reduce exposures to COVID-19.
