Only a handful of states have put mandatory COVID-19 protections in place specifically for farmworkers, according to an analysis from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
Overall, 16 states have safety recommendations, but they are not enforceable, while the rest have not imposed any standards. Several states, including Florida and Texas, have not issued any recommendations.
Colorado, Michigan, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin are the only states to require produce growers and other farm operations to provide personal protective equipment to farmworkers and to require physical distancing, according to EWG.
