In the Coming Weeks:

COVID-19 Vaccination Validation & Testing

As we prepare to transition to the J&J Flex work model projected for Tuesday, September 7, we will continue to monitor and adjust our workplace protocols based on the current environment to keep our workforce safe.

To provide additional layers of protection and to continue to encourage all employees to be fully vaccinated, we are preparing to implement the following:

• Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination: All those who self-attest to being fully vaccinated must submit documentation verifying their vaccination status.

• Testing: For those who do not submit proof of vaccination, we will be implementing regular testing for COVID-19 and individuals will be required to show verification of a negative test prior to entering any J&J facility.

More information will be provided with specific details including the date that these layers of protection will go into effect in the coming weeks. You will hear from your local site if there are any additional site-specific updates and guidance.

Local governmental and site-level guidance will prevail if there are additional layers of protection needed.

TEXT FROM THE ARTICLE

Readers know by now that the Western US is facing a megadrought, heat waves, fallow lands, wildfires, water shortages, grasshopper plague, and deteriorating reservoir conditions.

The latest data from the California Department of Water Resources provides a map of water levels for 12 major reservoirs in California.

What's concerning is that nearly all reservoirs in the state are way their historical average marks that suggest stricter water conservation measures are ahead. Some of these reservoirs are at risk of having their hydroelectric power plant cease operations because the water level is too low to turn the turbines.

The latest US Drought Monitor data shows much of California is in an "extreme drought." Relief in sight? How about not.

It's only a matter of time before Californian officials prepare for water shortage measures. There's also the possibility the first-ever federally declared water shortage could be announced.

Some Californians are trembling with fear as their water supplies dwindle in some of the worst droughts in decades.
