With Santa Clara County easing its booster rule for high-risk employees, board supervisors are pushing the county to quickly reinstate workers who have been on unpaid administrative leave for weeks.

Citing a drop in COVID-19 cases, Santa Clara County loosened its controversial booster rule this week and now workers in hospitals, jails and skilled nursing facilities without a booster shot can remain in their positions with an exemption — but are required to test weekly — a move that aligns the county with the state.
