The most populous county in Kansas is requiring its employees to submit to weekly COVID-19 testing if they aren't vaccinated.
Johnson County Manager Penny Postoak Ferguson said that only 46% of county employees had reported being fully vaccinated as of Wednesday. Countywide, nearly 58% of eligible residents are fully vaccinated. Beginning Aug. 23, government employees who are not fully vaccinated must get tested once a week.
Employees who work in departments providing direct care to residents are subject to tests up to twice weekly.
