Apple has yet to issue a accreditation analogous to Google’s that would bear all workers to be vaccinated, but it’s tensing its COVID-19 protocols nevertheless. According to Bloomberg, the tech mammoth will start taking all unvaccinated commercial workers to be tested for COVID-19 every time they’ve to work in the office rather of working from home. Back in September, Bloomberg reported that Apple asked workers to partake their vaccination status freely. Those who refuse to partake their vaccine status will also have to suffer diurnal testing, while vaccinated office workers will only have to do rapid-fire testing once a week.
The company’s retail store workers, still, will not be subordinated to diurnal tests despite having consumer- facing jobs. Unvaccinated staff members are needed to be tested twice a week. Like Apple’s office workers, vaccinated staff will only have to suffer daily rapid-fire testing. It’s unclear if the tech mammoth will ever issue a COVID-19 vaccine accreditation, but the Biden administration preliminarily gave all civil contractors a December 8th deadline to bear all their workers to be invested against the contagion. As Bloomberg notes, Apple sells products to the US government For now, Apple has reportedly given workers an October 24th deadline to report and show evidence of their vaccination status, so it could apply the new rules starting on November 1st. Unvaccinated workers will have to pick-up at- home rapid-fire tests from Apple services and stores, do the test themselves and also report their results through an internal app.
