Employees who decline to respond ‘must … be treated as unvaccinated.’
If an employee is unvaccinated, they have to wear a mask during work.
Employers must ask unvaccinated employees about their status every 14 days, the order said. Within 24 hours of learning of a positive case on-site, an employer must report the information to the Santa Clara County Public Health Department.
Here’s theform employers must submit for every employee.

The Mercury News reported in April that businesses here are 13 times more likely to get slapped with a fine than any other Bay Area county. And the amount of fines is 50 times more than the next highest county, San Mateo.”
