The EEOC recently updated guidance on COVID-19 stating that employees who have had the disease may be protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act. To be qualified under the ADA, a person would have to show that they a physical or mental impairment that limits a major life activity and that their employer took action against a person due to the perception that the employee is disabled or the worker’s record of impairment. But just because you tested positive for COVID-19 does not mean you will qualify as disabled. An example of someone who recovered from Covid but still has headaches, dizziness/brain fog or suffered a stroke may qualify under the new guidelines. Someone who has flu like symptoms or test positive but are asymptomatic would not qualify.
