California government, health workers must show proof of vaccination or be tested regularly

LA Times  

California will require state employees and all healthcare workers to show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination or get tested weekly, tightening restrictions in an effort to slow rising coronavirus infections in the nation’s most populous state, mostly among the unvaccinated. California state and healthcare employees will soon be required to show proof they’ve been vaccinated against COVID-19, with those who remain uninoculated subject to a regular testing regimen, as part of growing national effort to use such screenings in hopes of slowing a new coronavirus surge. “We’re at a point in this epidemic, this pandemic, where choice — individuals’ choice not to get vaccinated — is now impacting the rest of us in a profound and devastating and deadly way.” The announcement comes as California continues to see rapid increases in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, with the overwhelming bulk of new infection and illness taking place among the uninoculated. “He will be discussing this in more detail very soon.” Ahead of the state’s June 15 reopening, some officials were candid that removing the guardrails that had long defined California’s pandemic response — including widespread mask mandates, capacity restrictions, and requirements for physical distancing in businesses and venues — could lead to some increase in community transmission.
