New York, Aug 5 (EFE) .- Three CNN employees were fired for going to work at the office without having received the covid-19 vaccine, as revealed by the CEO of the television network, Jeff Zucker, in a The company’s internal statement that came out this Thursday.
In a message addressing the return to work, Zucker warned of CNN’s “zero tolerance” around returning to the offices during the pandemic, which he said can only be done if you are vaccinated, according to the specialized media Deadline.
“In the past week, we were told that three employees were coming to the office without being vaccinated. All three have been fired,” Zucker said in the statement.
The CEO explained that until now, CNN had been based on an “honor system”, so it was not mandatory to present proof of having received the anticovid vaccine.

He also reported that it is possible that in the coming weeks, showing the vaccination card will become mandatory.
Along with other large companies, CNN also delayed the return to the office of its workers from next September 7 until at least mid-October, although it has not provided a specific date.
