2. Employees who have not received their booster must test for COVID-19 twice weekly until they are up to date on their shots beginning Dec. 27.
3. ASCs are required to maintain records of their workers’ vaccination status.
4. ASCs must also maintain records of the results of the COVID-19 tests they administer to workers who are not fully vaccinated or boosted.
