WINTER PARK, Fla. – Winter Park will require unvaccinated employees to get tested weekly starting September 20th.
Under the approved motion employees who do not provide proof of vaccination will be required to provide a negative result from an FDA-approved COVID test each workweek. Employees unable to produce a negative test would be placed on leave until they can provide a negative result.
The rapid COVID-19 tests are estimated to cost between $20,000 and $25,000 a month and would be administered by the Winter Park Fire Department on a drive-thru basis or an employee can provide proof of a test at their own expense.
If under 65% of Winter Park employees are vaccinated another meeting will be held to determine the next steps.
