Allegheny County executive warns unvaccinated will be isolated from society,
considers employee requirement
Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald on Wednesday supported employers who mandate employees to be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus and said the county is now considering vaccine requirements for its 6,000-plus employees not just new hires as it previously announced.
If there is a mandate to be enforced, it will be a requirement of employment you'll have to show your vaccine card, Mr. Fitzgerald said during the weekly coronavirus briefing.
These vaccines cards are something people are going to be showing a lot of, he continued, adding that folks who are not vaccinated are going to be isolated from society.
Mr. Fitzgerald mentioned that 74% of county employees are fully vaccinated. His comments echoed those of President Joe Biden, who last Thursday issued an order requiring companies with over 100 employees to require either mandatory proof of vaccination or weekly coronavirus testing.

Allegheny County manager Rich Fitzgerald is Republican - however ChumpHumpers would probably call him a RINO.
Thank you Rich Fitzgerald!
