California considers dropping mask and distancing rules for employees at work if everyone there is vaccinated, as coronavirus cases continue to fall.
morning: dropping a requirement for workers to wear masks when everyone in a room is fully vaccinated and does not have COVID-19 symptoms; and no longer requiring physical distancing at locations at which all employees are fully vaccinated.
It remains unclear which workplaces would be impacted. Some employers are requiring vaccinations as they reopen offices. But retailers have generally not required customers to be vaccinated when they shop. Some infectious diseases experts suggested the proposed relaxation in California’s workplaces could be loosened further.They pointed out that fully vaccinated people are highly protected from the coronavirus, even when in close contact with unvaccinated people. Even in the rare instance that a vaccinated person still gets infected anyway, chances are they will either show no symptoms or have very mild symptoms, and are unlikely to transmit the virus to other people.
