Starting Jan. 24, unvaccinated employees or those who haven’t submitted proof of vaccination will need negative Covid-19 tests to enter Apple workplaces, the report said. The Verge said it was not immediately clear if the testing requirement applies to both corporate and retail employees.
“Due to waning efficacy of the primary series of Covid-19 vaccines and the emergence of highly transmissible variants such as Omicron, a booster shot is now part of staying up to date with your Covid-19 vaccination to protect against severe disease,” the memo read, according to The Verge.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A report by The Information said Amazon has offered its US warehouse workers $40 to get a booster shot.
