North Carolina reports highest number of workplace deaths in a decade, Department of Labor says

In the report, the Department of Labor took into account that not everyone had the ability to work from home, which would then lead to a higher probability of exposure to COVID-19, most notably in areas including healthcare facilities such as hospitals, medical doctor offices, nursing homes and long-term care facilities.

“Safety and health are in the forefront of all of our minds as we work to navigate this current public health crisis,” Labor Commissioner Josh Dobson said.”
