Update to Vaccine Mandate for California Health Care Workers
加州衛生保健工作者的疫苗規定更新
In early August, California's Department of Public Health (CDPH) issued a mandate for health care workers to be vaccinated by Sept. 30. Local government agencies within California, like the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health, passed similar orders that expanded the CDPH mandate to, for example, nonmedical in-home healthcare workers.
8月初，加州公共衛生部 (CDPH) 發布了一項規定，要求醫護人員在9月30日之前接種疫苗。加州的地方政府機構，如洛杉磯縣公共衛生部，通過了類似的規定，擴大了疫苗接種範圍，如CDPH 要求非醫療家庭醫療保健工作者。
Then, on Sept. 28, the CDPH expanded its mandate when it issued a new vaccine requirement, adding adult care facilities and direct care workers.
然而，在9月28日，CDPH 在發布新的疫苗要求時擴大了其規定範圍，增加了成人護理機構和直接護理人員。
Under its new mandate, the CDPH now requires covered workers to be fully vaccinated by Nov. 30.
根據其新規定，CDPH現在要求涵蓋在規定內的工作人員在11月30日之前完全接種疫苗。

The following workers are covered by the order:

Exemptions
豁免
The exceptions for those who work in-home, WPCS, and hospice, as detailed above, only apply if the workers provide services to a single household. If the workers provide services across multiple households, the exceptions do not apply, and the worker must comply with the order.
上文詳述的在家工作、WPCS 和臨終關懷服務人員除外，但僅適用於員工為單個家庭提供服務的情況。如果員工為多個家庭提供服務，則例外情況不適用，員工必須遵守規定。
Workers may also be exempt from the vaccination requirements due to closely held religious beliefs or qualifying medical reasons. Workers who believe they are covered by either of these exemptions must provide their employer with a declination form signed by the worker.
因為虔誠的宗教信仰或符合條件的醫療原因，員工也可以免除接種疫苗要求。認為自己符合其中任何一項豁免的員工，必須向其雇主提交一份由員工簽署的拒絕表格。
Requirements for Unvaccinated Workers
對未接種疫苗員工的要求
If a worker is exempted from the vaccination requirements, either due to religious beliefs or qualifying medical reasons, the worker must comply with the following requirements:
如果員工因宗教信仰或符合條件的醫療原因免除疫苗接種要求，則該必須遵守以下要求：
Test for COVID-19 with either PCR or antigen test once weekly.

涵蓋在規定內員工的雇主將被要求保存員工疫苗接種或豁免狀態的記錄。雇主還必須為那些免於接種疫苗的員工保存員工檢測記錄。根據適用的隱私法律和法規，這些記錄必須保密。
