If you need a change to how,when, orwhere your job is done to avoid exposure toCOVID-19, you can ask your employer for a “reasonable accommodation” (a change to your work so you can do your job while you’re pregnant). Depending on your job and the city and state where you work, your employer may be required to make changes recommended by your health care provider to keep you and your pregnancy safe. The changes cannot be too difficult or expensive for your employer to provide.
