Know Your Rights During COVID-19

Know Your Rights During COVID-19

March 24, 2020

ADA’s Legal Advocacy team has new resources to help you navigate COVID-19. These include a FAQ for workers; a sample physician letter supporting requests for reasonable accommodations; a letter to employers; and a letter to detention centers.

Several federal government agencies that enforce antidiscrimination laws have released guidance documents. There are new laws passed by Congress to respond to the crisis. Schools are closed, businesses are shuttered, and everyone is on edge. ADA is here to help you. If you are concerned you are being treated unfairly because of your diabetes, contact us to seek help from our Legal Advocacy team by calling 1-800-DIABETES (800-342-2383) or by emailing AskADA@diabetes.org.
