The Times reported that the Board of Supervisors meeting is scheduled for Tuesday and a draft report could be ready within the month. Hahn reportedly wrote that some elements of the mandate would still need to be ironed out, including how businesses would confirm vaccination statuses and what establishments should be exempt.
The report pointed out that Barbara Ferrer, the county’s public health director, would have to mandate the proof in order for the measure to take effect across the entire county.
