Print Los Angeles County employees could soon be required to either show proof that they have been vaccinated for COVID-19 or be tested for the virus once a week. The L.A. County Board of Supervisors will discuss the proposal, which would apply to all of the county’s more than 100,000 employees, at their meeting next Tuesday. Under the proposal, vaccinations would be mandated for county healthcare workers. Other county employees would have the option of either vaccination or regular testing. The board will also consider whether it can require county contractors to be vaccinated or tested. Advertisement “With increasing spread of the Delta variant, the Board of Supervisors must also take the common-sense and important step of requiring county healthcare workers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19,” Supervisors Janice Hahn and Sheila Kuehl said in their motion outlining the possible mandates. “Too many of our residents have already lost their lives to this virus, and we must do everything we can to protect their health.”
