Starbucks Corp. will require its U.S. workers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or undergo weekly testing in order to comply with new federal mandates,
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration has set a new date of Feb. 9 for large employers to require either full vaccination or weekly testing as the omicron variant of the coronavirus spreads quickly throughout the United States.
A company source told Reuters that Starbucks is not currently seeing broad closures of its cafes as a result of omicron — unlike in the first half of 2020, when the pandemic forced the coffee chain to temporarily shut at least half of its U.S. stores and convert remaining locations to drive-thru and carry-out only.
