The COVID National Health Emergency is over, and the Cal/OSHA workplace requirements ended on February 3, 2025. As a result, Berkeley Lab’s COVID protocols and other requirements (including masking and testing) have been retired and are no longer applicable.
If you have questions about medical care for COVID or other respiratory illnesses or about returning to work after being ill, please contact your personal healthcare provider or Berkeley Lab Health Services at 510-486-6266. For more information, please visit the Health Services website at: https://ehs.lbl.gov/service/health-services/.
Masks and hand sanitizer are supported and recommended. If you need them, contact your supervisor, Building Manager, or Division Safety Coordinator. If you would like to request an N95 respirator, email RPP@lbl.gov.
