The new rule will take effect next month, officials announced Monday. There are at least 238,000 state employees, according to the California controller’s office. Health officials couldn’t immediately provide an estimate on size of the health care workforce in the nation’s most populated state.
Meanwhile, the more contagious delta variant now makes up an estimated 80% of infections in California. Hospitalizations are on the rise, though still far below where they were during the winter peak.
Many workplaces in the states require testing incl those who r double vaxed. The U.S. can handle high levels of testing. I’m not so sure Canada can. We have never ever tested enough. Maybe if ur a hockey player? 🙄 Remember ON even sent tests to Cali to process & speed up results
Unvacinated fools should also be required to wear masks.
I hope they have to pay for their own testing also !!
bUt FrEeDuM!?
I'd demand everyone take a influenza, Tuberculosis, measles cancer, herpes STD Test, Oh where was your care before.... Look put a sign on your door that says Enter at your own Risk Non smoking ESTABLISHMENT Enter at your own Risk Smoking ESTABLISHMENT Go back to FREEDOM
I’m the variant reincarnated
Good move!
Good. We need to get this pandemic under control before it kills us all.
Look California is using their brain.
“BREAKING” Don’t you mean common sense
No comment🤨
The tests must be paid for by the unvaccinated!
great idea ,but a little too late
For those that oppose this move,all I can say is pick a spot. It will be yours sooner or later
Big surprise
Require all hospital attendees to sign to accept vaccine if possible after intubation.. no sign.. no tube..
Finally, some good news.
GavinNewsom Terrible. A testament to the underlining communism Mr Newsom prescribes to. Mandating it or you cannot work. How is forcing this helping anyone? Anything to keep some sort of power.
China be like: Damn, we had no idea communism can reach that level.
It’s definitely the right thing to do.
I thought the mask was safe
Good. Get it or dont work is an option.
GOOD NEXT STEP REMOVE ALL unvaccinated from CA and bus them to a barn in texas
As a CA state worker, the goal is also to get workers back to offices. Downtown Sac restaurants & retail has been hit hard by remote work. That said, I’ve been remote since JAN & 💜 it. Every agency in CA different, but most hoping to return by SEP, mostly hybrid remote schedule
GavinNewsom Get ready to get sued straight to hell (where you all belong!)
Finally ! No vaccine no job
GovernorKayIvey perhaps you can add these things to the 'everything' you've tried in AL.
GavinNewsom Not True 60% vaxed yet we are surging in cases OBVIOUSLY it's the INDOOR BUSINESSES UNMASKED VACCINATED & UNVACCINATED SPREADING THE VIRUS. NOT A PANDEMIC OF THE UNVACCINATED your vaccinated are spreading the Wuhuan modified bat/anteater LAB VIRUS AROUND just the same way GEEZUS!
Just Do It!!
The sooner Non-Vaccine fanatics realize their life will be easier and safer, the sooner we can put a dent in this Virus for good. As this type of policies get implemented more and more will get tired of being pig Headed and accept the Fact and Science. Keep it up America!
Bold but necessary.
Looks like they are going communist.
Then the border should be shut down.
WTMJSteve Good!
Yet another complete bullshit act of control. Preach the fking deaths associated with any vaccine. Report those numbers.
Muh myocarditis
Those 2 Governors should both lose their jobs
GavinNewsom My only concern is : once we start dictating things that happen to some ones body. Where does it stop? Test? Ok,but forced vaccines..start a ball rolling down hill...
i remember when trump was in office they said the vaccine was a way to put mirco chips in us and now just look at us fighting to .ake sure they do so we can say we got a vaccine that if you are vaxxed then why worry about ones who are not your covered live your life
Lol here comes the black market for vaccine cards lolllllll
Should be required in All states.
this is worse than secessionists efforts to deprive DACA citizenship, or Africans suffrage, even to this day. Trying to disenfranchise people because they won't inject a chemical in their body!?! this is not the PartyOfLincoln!!!
Weekly testing? That sounds insane. Who will cover the costs?
I like how the governor of California just likes to violate the Nuremberg code.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The VA is making it mandatory for workers to be vaccinated now. 💙💙
Good
This is a situation where the American people say oh well at least I’m not involved. But wait a minute it’s only a matter time before it hits our doorstep’s and we’re required to follow the same insane rule while millions are crossing the border free of all of it my opinion
They should do this to the other 48 states.
Good!
Now Illinois GovPritzker
Do NOT give into this arm-twisting by the MEDIA. The MEDIA do not make or enforce laws. What these people 'say' they are going to do VERSUS what is LAW are two very different things. Do not give up your rights based on newspaper articles and social-media shaming!
Good.
GavinNewsom RecallGavinNewsom
Won't it be ironic if those with no vax keep coming back negative in their weekly testing? How long before the gov has to start fabricating test results?
Light and love for everyone that lives in darkness served by their gov ♥️ finding always someone to blame makes you believe you in charge of your mind. You’re not 🥲
Teachers and nurses...?
Commence the US protests!
Direct from the land of fruits and nuts!!!!
Yep. Treat them like smokers No planes, no offices, no public indoors. Eff your freedom. The rest of us have the freedom not to have this virus continuing to go around because of fools.
abc3340 Not in Alabama
Absolutely the right thing to do! Other states should do the same.
Lots of state jobs will be opening up soon after the euthanizing jabs. Probably 18 months or so give or take. Left wing MSM programmed dipsticks that can’t critically think. Too funny anymore.
MarietjeSchaake WW2 all over. Idiots.
I always knew California was a communist country
Stop whining and get vaccinated. We are talking about human life here. Stop being rotten people. You are not 'owning the libs', you are endangering your family and community.
MaddowBlog People also get the shot to protect others. Repubs can’t comprehend this.
THANK GOD I LIVE IN TEXAS 🙏🏻 ✝️ PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
MaddowBlog Since some people seem to think it’s an inconvenience to get vaccinated so we’ll see if they like to get tested every week or just quit there jobs which will leave more opportunities for others who are vaccinated ..
I think all healthcare workers should be required to get vaxed unless they have a valid medical excuse. You can’t be a “healthcare” worker if you are a vector for a pandemic.
SanAntonio Bexar county Texas should be NEXT.
More of this please
MaddowBlog I hope they have to pay for the weekly test- which somehow seems inadequate in terms of frequency
WHY DID CHINA& Fauci started the virus? WuhanLabLeak coronavirus conAvirus BigPharma BillGates nwo NewWorldOrder sheep naturalimmunity COVID19 Bitcoin Ethereum Litecoin dogecoin shiba ltc Tesla ElonMusk loki cryptocurrency
GavinNewsom TYRANNY. Ppl don't understand that Everytime we accept things like this our rights and freedom goes with it
MaddowBlog Honestly, hasn't it been proven already that once a week testing is really not testing at all! If you're infected, you can test negative one day and positive the next. COVID fatigue is real, but this is real stupid.
GavinNewsom The vaccinations are failing.
Hillary was SO right
👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
GavinNewsom How will you wake up the workers for the test. Walk thru the offices and you will see what I mean!
Thanks goodness!
Now do the rest of the country
FINALLY!! Yay
This should be a NY State mandate as well. Sadly NYGovCuomo wont do it because he’s more concerned with his low poll numbers.
It’s the right thing to do. GetVaccinatedNow
Yay!!
Meanwhile, vaccinated people are still catching the virus, still spreading the virus, and still breeding variants of the virus. This is about social control. Plain and simple. Glad I’m intelligent enough to earn a living without feeding from the government’s hand.
Good! As a retired CNA....I completly agree! 🤨
GavinNewsom How about proof of intelligence for all government workers?
I think the testing should be daily
Population control in full swing
We need a federal mandate for vaccinations and proof via passport.
And those hetting the weekly testing will have it done the first way...go deep..
GavinNewsom When Government calls simultaneously for drastic reductions in carbon, determines that you’re non-essential, while at the same time pushing an aggressive propaganda campaign for an experimental, non-FDA licensed “vaccine” with zero IRB informed consent... be cautious. COVID19
Welcome to the police states
Will be interesting to see if employees fake sickness after receiving shoot and go out on long-term disability. Making the state responsible for any type of sickness.
GavinNewsom Hate living in Ca…
GavinNewsom Fucked up….
Testing should be daily and the expense deducted from their pay cheques.
Testing doesn't cut it. By the time you have a positive test you could have infected many people.
The public expects Healthcare workers to protect them, but who protects us? We have all the un-vaxed maskless wonders running amuck out there spreading this Delta varient like no one's business. Most Healthcare workers were vaxed the second they could be. GetVaccinatedNow
lachlan As is the VA
I don’t understand why vaccinated don’t need to be tested also since they can get and spread the virus too. Seems like that would be safest strategy.
Do this for all entertainment events/facilities, maybe even indoor dining, and issue a QR code. We need something more verifiable than a 3x5 notecard
