Operative words

we've implemented a policy effective this week that all state employees must either be vaccinated or wear a mask and test. Remember, we have about 8,000 state employees. I also continue to urge employers and schools to adopt a similar policy while we await more details on the President's proposal for vaccine requirements... every school but one has a masking requirement, which means we effectively have a mask mandate in schools.
