The second-largest school district in Orange County, California is calling on the state to end the weekly COVID-19 testing required for unvaccinated school employees following nearly identical case rates between unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals in the county.

In a 4-2 vote on July 13, the Capistrano Unified school board passed a resolution to ask the state California Department of Public Health to set an expiration date for the August 2021 order mandating weekly COVID-19 testing of unvaccinated workers and those who are not fully vaccinated.
