Update on Face Coverings in the Workplace

The County is updating its face covering requirements for employees in County facilities to follow workplace guidance revised by Cal/OSHA Thursday. 

Starting June 18, anyone working in a County facility who is fully vaccinated for COVID-19 does not need to wear a face covering once they provide a confidential self-attestation document. All employees will receive an email with instructions. Vaccinated employees can choose to wear a face covering. 

Anyone who has not been vaccinated needs to continue to wear a face covering when in a common area, in a room with others present, or in the field. 

Additionally, under California Department of Public Health guidance, some County facilities still require masks regardless of vaccination status. These include healthcare settings, correctional and detention facilities, cooling centers, public transit and in transportation hubs, and indoors in childcare settings.

Employees who are not vaccinated can contact their doctor about receiving a vaccine or visit one of the County and County partner sites. There is no charge for the vaccine.
