The state of Nevada says it will require weekly COVID-19 testing for unvaccinated government workers starting this month.

The rule will go into effect starting Aug. 15. Individuals who aren’t fully vaccinated, meaning they haven’t received two shots of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine or the single-dose J&J vaccine, will have to submit their results to a human resources officer or department supervisor.
