A new California mandate will require all workers to wear a mask unless every other employee in the room is fully vaccinated. The mandate is due to go into effect the same day the state lifts mask and other restrictions in social settings.
A new California mandate requires all workers to wear face masks unless all employees are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board approved the updated guidelines Thursday night, the Associated Press reported.
A bartender wears a mask while working at an outdoor bar amid the COVID-19 pandemic, at The Grove in Los Angeles on May 20, 2021. California workplace regulators are considering on June 3, 2021, whether to end mask rules if every employee in a room has been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, frustrating business groups by eying a higher standard than the state plans to soon adopt for social settings.
The board initially rejected the revised masking rules for employees on a 4-3 vote. But members reconsidered when they realized that would leave employees in workplaces subject to the current standards that require masks for all employees, along with social distancing and partitions between employees in certain circumstances.
The board's masks off-again, on-again decisions came after major business groups and dozens of individuals spent hours urging the board to further lift pandemic regulations.
