State to Require Employees to Get Vaccine or Wear Two Masks

All city employees will also have to provide proof that they have been vaccinated against the coronavirus, according to a press release from the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, which details the new policies.

“All City employees will be required to provide proof that they’ve completed their schedule of COVID-19 vaccinations , new employees hired must be fully vaccinated a condition of their employment, and employees who are not fully vaccinated by September 1 will be required to wear two masks (a cloth mask over a disposable or surgical mask) at all times while working on-site,” the press release read.

The statement also boasts of the effectiveness of vaccines.

“Being vaccinated against COVID-19 results in an eight-fold reduction of risk if you’re fully vaccinated compared to when you are not. If you’re fully vaccinated, you have a 25-fold reduction of your risk of being hospitalized or dying from COVID. The COVID vaccines protect people very well and are the best way to avoid a severe enough infection that could end up in hospitalization,” the press release read.

We are committed to keeping our employees safe from severe COVID infection and death.

Today, we announced beginning Sept. 1, all @PhiladelphiaGov employees must be fully vaccinated or they will be required to double-mask when working in enclosed spaces. https://t.co/58rvrEUHlf pic.twitter.com/K6drBnRPAf
