It hasn’t even been mandated yet at certain hospital sites in Toronto and although the unvaccinated are required to take a self administered rapid tests – you are able to just send in the same picture over and over with a negative result. But hey, at least the employees at the largest general contractors are vaccinated – that looks good in the papers.
