COVID-19 Best Practices for Interpreters

Advocacy & Outreach

Many ATA members are essential workers who risk exposure to COVID-19 in order to ensure equal access to vital services, such as healthcare, legal, and educational services.

To provide guidance to businesses hiring interpreters during the pandemic, ATA’s Interpretation Advisory Policy Committee collaborated with other translation and interpreting organizations to develop a handout of safe working conditions for interpreters. The information follows the guidelines published by the Centers for Disease Control and Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Organizations and freelancers are encouraged to share this important information with colleagues and clients.
