A San Francisco Superior Court judge denied requests of employers in two consolidated cases to block the enforcement of California's COVID-19 emergency temporary standards, or ETS, which we have written about previously. As the judge memorably observed: "With the single exception of restrictions on attendance at religious services, which present unique constitutional considerations, no federal or state court in the country has blocked emergency public health orders intended to curb the spread of COVID-19, and the illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths that follow in its wake…. This Court will not be the first. Lives are at stake."
