The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the state of California, and New York City have announced that employees will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 -- or, in the case of California and New York City, undergo regular testing.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the requirements he announced Monday were the first in the nation on the state level.
California employees must provide proof of vaccination or get tested at least once a week. The policy starts Aug. 2 for state employees and Aug. 9 for state health care workers and employees of congregate facilities, such as jails or homeless shelters. In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio had previously announced that city health and hospital employees and those working in Department of Health and Mental Hygiene clinical settings would be required to provide proof of vaccination or have regular testing.
"This is what it takes to continue our recovery for all of us while fighting back the Delta variant," de Blasio said."It’s going to take all of us to finally end the fight against COVID-19."
