Please note:
In response to increases in COVID-19 cases, California Department of
Human Resources (CalHR) is implementing COVID-19 testing of all unvaccinated state
employees working on site as an additional health and safety standard to protect the
state workforce and the public it serves. Any employee seeking exemption from COVID-19
testing or wearing a face covering must provide evidence of vaccination.
