PIA Demands That Print Be Considered Essential Service
On March 19, the Department of Homeland Security’s CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) published guidance to state, local, tribal, and territorial jurisdictions and the private sector defining essential critical infrastructure workers imperative to responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
That day, the State of Pennsylvania became the first state to lock down all physical businesses not deemed to be “life-sustaining” or “essential.” It is reasonable to assume that other states may follow and will be using the list published by CISA as guidance.
CISA identified “Communications and Information Technology” as a critical sector that must remain functioning during this national emergency. However, in the definition of “Communications,” CISA explicitly left out printed communication as one such essential function. This is unacceptable!
