According to a new report from the U.S. Census Bureau, a majority of small business venues in the United States are not going to require their employees to be tested for the new coronavirus or to prove that they have gotten any [COVID-19 vaccine](https://www.pressherald.com/2021/03/03/majority-of-small-businesses-not-requiring-vaccines-tests/). 

# As much as 70 percent of small [businesses won't be requiring it](https://www.lakeconews.com/news/68337-small-business-pulse-survey-asks-about-covid-19-testing-and-vaccine). 
<center></center>When it comes to small businesses in certain industries though, the rates change. 

For those in the health care industry for example, the rate was  seen to be a bit higher, with as much as 62 percent of small businesses saying they are going to require it. 

### There are roughly 25k businesses that took part in the survey and these questions were asked last spring during the pandemic. 
<center></center>With more businesses opening now and trying to get back to normal soon, it isn't likely that a significant number are going to change their minds on that requirement either. 

If they did start requiring it of their employees then they would probably lose even more jobs than they already have since last year.
