According to a new report released by foreign media Bloomberg, Apple plans to introduce a testing protocol from November 1, 2021 that 'unvaccinated employees will be tested daily for COVID-19 before entering the office.' And that. The daily testing protocol applies not only to employees who report unvaccinated, but also to employees who have not reported vaccination status, and vaccinated employees are also tested once a week. It is said that it is necessary.

Meanwhile, employees working in the Apple Store rather than in the office will be required to be tested twice a week if unvaccinated and once a week if vaccinated. Employees can receive a quick diagnostic kit at Apple's office or retail store and need to report the diagnostic results via a dedicated smartphone app. It takes 15 minutes for one test.

Earlier reports required Apple to report vaccination status to employees by September 24, but the latest report has moved back and called for a declaration by October 24. It is said that there is.

Google, Facebook, and others require all employees working in the office to be vaccinated, but Apple does not require vaccination, and vaccine guidelines are relatively loose. However, the U.S. government has announced policies that require federal officials and contractors to vaccinate and companies with more than 100 employees to vaccinate their employees or submit a weekly negative certificate. It is said that Apple's vaccination policy may be forced to change.
