Anyone know what my best options are or what I should do next besides look for another job obviously? I have it in my termination letter the exact reason stating me not getting a test. Virginia is my state.

I don't think you going to have much ground to stand on. If you were fired for refusing a vaccine, you would definitely have a case, but refusing a test? No so sure.

Best advice I could give is contact a solicitor specializing in wrongful termination. I get the feeling refusing a covid test will be the same as refusing a drug test.

Covid testing is a medical procedure. You can not be forced to have a medical procedure.

What about drug tests. That's as much a medical procedure as a covid test and your compelled by law to participate in drug test for work.

That’s exempted by the Federal Drug Free Workplace act.

Pissing in a cup isn't a medical procedure. A probation officer can also have you piss in a cup and they are far from a medical professional.

Makes sense. Glad you clear that up for me
