Based on a policy update, Apple employees will now be required to show proof that they've received a COVID-19 booster shot.
Starting Feb. 15, eligible employees will have four weeks to get a shot or will need to take a coronavirus antigen test each time before entering a retail store, partner store or Apple office, The Verge reported Sunday, citing an internal email.
Unvaccinated employees will be required to have a negative COVID-19 test to enter Apple workplaces beginning Jan. 24.
"Due to waning efficacy of the primary series of COVID-19 vaccines and the emergence of highly transmissible variants such as Omicron, a booster shot is now part of staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccination to protect against severe disease," Apple stated in the memo.
In December, Apple announced an indefinite delay to in-person work due to the surge in COVID-19 cases.
