California Will Require State Employees, Health Care Workers To Get Vaccinated
HuffPost
The new order, which also mandates weekly testing for anyone who doesn't get vaccinated, affects upward of 2.25 million people in the state.
Californians who work for the state, in health care, or in a handful of other high-risk settings will be required to show proof they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or undergo weekly testing, the governor announced Monday. The policy will take effect for state employees on Aug. 2. Staffers at what the state has deemed “high-risk congregate settings” have until Aug. 9 to get their shots, while employees at health care facilities will have until Aug. 23. “Congregate settings” include adult and senior residential facilities, homeless shelters and jails ― all of which have struggled to stymie COVID-19 outbreaks.More Related News
