By the end of June, will masks be required for vaccinated employees in any Google offices in the San Francisco Bay Area? A requirement instituted by Google or by a government qualifies for YES resolution. The requirement must apply to all or most vaccinated employees to resolve as YES. Background: Currently masks are not required for vaccinated employees, but we are now seeing another large Covid surge due to BA.2, which may cause stricter public health measures to be implemented. A temporary mask mandate also counts as YES Related: https://manifold.markets/jack/will-google-require-us-employees-to May 22, 10:55pm: To clarify, this resolves YES if masks are required at any point in time before the end of June, even if the requirement is later lifted.

Apparently masks are currently required at the bayview office
@fortenforge Thanks for pointing this out! Confirmed with Googlers that the bay view office specifically does require masks at this time (most other offices do not): "Until at least June 15, 2022, masks will be required at all times while indoors at BV100 and BV200. " Therefore, resolves YES. I believe this was because there was a cluster of cases in this office, and California policy (https://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/coronavirus/covid19faqs.html) requires masks when there is an outbreak, defined as "three or more COVID-19 cases among employees in an "exposed group" within a 14-day period"; it says "Employers must provide and ensure use of face coverings during outbreaks and major outbreaks."
