Retrieval noteCross-reference; not re-saved. ¶ 7.d.ii directed the Commissioners of Health, Labor and Industry and Employment and Economic Development to 'prepare and publish additional industry guidance', with 'Relevant agencies must publish such guidance no later than June 15, 2020'; DUT-MN-013 is the general guidance so published. The incorporation verb is 'in accordance with' and 'must adhere to'; the incorporated guidance's own verbs decide each item (DUT-MN-013).
