Amazon to end on-site Covid testing for warehouse workers
CNN
Amazon said it will end its on-site Covid-19 testing for US warehouse workers this month as it continues to peel back some pandemic-related safety measures inside its facilities.
The company notified workers that it will cease offering on-site testing after July 30, according to a notification Amazon shared with workers in its employee app, called A to Z, viewed by CNN Business. The company cited that Covid-19 testing and vaccines are now widely available. Amazon (AMZN) confirmed to CNN Business that it will begin ramping down its US testing operations by that date. The company did not immediately respond to a question about whether it would provide workers with time off to get tested, if necessary.
