The announcement comes on the heels of rising COVID-19 cases attributed to rapid spread of the highly infectious Delta variant of the coronavirus. The state has announced that all of its employees and all workers at public and private health-care facilities in California will be required to be vaccinated or under testing up to twice a week. The cities of Los Angeles and Long Beach have followed suit for municipal workers, while Pasadena is moving forward with a mandatory vaccination policy for its employees. The rising case numbers prompted a change of policy that took effect Friday at Disneyland, requiring all visitors age 2 and up to wear face coverings in all indoor locations, regardless of vaccination status. The revised rule applies to workers at the theme park as well.
