A reader recently asked me this question, "when will Covax requirements for healthcare workers end in California?” I didn’t know then, but I do now. I think I answered him, “Whenever Dr. Gov Newsolini says so.”

The Covid “state of emergency” ended on Feb 28th, now the health care Covax mandates seem to be ending.

What will happen to all the healthcare “heroes” who lost their jobs for refusing to be stabbed with the Magic Needle Juice™? Will they be reinstated with back pay? Somehow I think not.

STORY:

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- California's COVID masking rules are changing according to new information from the state's department of public health.
Starting April 3, masks will no longer be required in indoor high-risk and health care settings.
Those areas include health care, long-term care, and correctional facilities as well as homeless, emergency and warming and cooling centers.

Wearing a mask in those high-risk indoor settings will still be recommended.
Also changing on April 3, the state will no longer require health care workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
The state is also shortening isolation time.
If you test positive for COVID, you only have to isolate for five days, not ten, as long as you don't have a fever and your symptoms are improving.
