So from what I was able to get out Liberty Mutual rep, I think UPS is trying to absolve itself from liability down the road since none of us really know what long term effects covid has on the body... (i.e... cancers...organ failure...strokes... etc). Allegedly every positive case is on the list to be called... not saying I believe the rep but thats the angle with the workers comp and Liberty Mutual involvement. The rep said its a seperate issue from the covid sick pay. So this is about protecting UPS from future liability to disabilities from covid exposure on the job.
In my opinion this may be something those with underlying conditions may want to take very seriously... checking all the boxes, dotting all the i's & crossing all the t's.
