(Allegheny County, Pa.) Starting next week, Allegheny County will require all new hires to be vaccinated against COVID-19 starting next week and current unvaccinated employees will have to follow new measures. Executive branch employees, including contractors, who haven’t proved they’re vaccinated will have to mask up indoors and outdoors if they can’t social distance. They’ll also be required to get tested regularly.

Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald announced the new measures Thursday, citing the spread of the delta variant.
