Can an employer discipline an employee for sharing with his/her coworkers that he/she had a COVID test? Or any diagnostic medical test?

Ann Kiernan replies:

No! While the Americans with Disabilities Act and other laws prohibit employers from giving out employee medical information, employees are always free to share their own medical information.
