As previously reported, state regulations required healthcare workers and providers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by October 1, 2021, unless a medical exemption applies. The regulation was set to expire December 14, 2021 but has now been extended through February 12, 2022. Healthcare workers with a medical exemption must wear a mask indoors and undergo testing twice weekly. Healthcare providers with a medical exemption must wear a mask when indoors.
Employers in the healthcare industry should be aware of this extension.
