This case involves an applicant claiming a psyche and internal system injury due to COVID-19 infection sustained at work. The WCAB rescinded the prior decision, finding the trial judge erred by disregarding differing medical opinions on causation and by improperly applying a strict latency period calculation. The Board found the medical record undeveloped, necessitating further proceedings to establish a probable date of infection and work-related exposure. The matter was returned to the trial level for further development of evidence and a new decision.
