Google Ends Vaccine Mandate For U.S. Workers, Prepares For Return To Office
Tech giant Google has announced an end to its company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for U.S. workers as it prepares for staff members to return to its home office.
The report comes as virus numbers have fallen low enough for the company to reopen its San Francisco area headquarters and bring workers back to the office three days a week after nearly two years of pandemic restrictions.
Google Real Estate and Workplace Services VP David Radcliffe sent a message to workers stating the company is “lifting the testing requirement imposed in January, which applied even to vaccinated employees,” according to a CNBC report.
“In addition, Google is dropping its social distancing requirement and masks for vaccinated employees in most areas, noting that the few cities still requiring masks are likely to drop them soon,” the report added.
“Unvaccinated employees who are approved to enter offices will still need to follow additional protocols, including testing and wearing a mask,” however, according to the message from Radcliffe. – READ MORE
