Unvaccinated Canadian government workers to be placed on unpaid leave
The Canadian government stated Wednesday that federal employees who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 will be placed on unpaid administrative leave, according to a report from Reuters.
The policy does not apply to those who have an exemption.
The announcement comes after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a new vaccine mandate for travelers and federal employees Tuesday.
Canadians 12 years or older that wish to travel by rail, air or cruise ship must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination, according to Global News. This measure will go into effect by Oct. 30, and those who are in the middle of their vaccination regimen will be allowed to present a negative test to travel through the transitionary period, which will be until Nov. 30.
