Novant Health, a North Carolina not-for-profit system of 15 medical centers with more than 2,300 physicians, said this week it had terminated roughly 175 employees for non-compliance with its mandatory Covid-19 vaccination program.
More than 99% of Novant Health team members chose compliance, company President and CEO Carl Armato said in a statement.
"I am thrilled that the vast majority of team members gave Novant Health's patients and visitors, as well as our team members, better protection against COVID-19 by complying with our vaccination mandate," said Amato.
The Republican-led House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Thursday morning will send a letter to US Attorney General Merrick Garland referring a potential criminal case involving former New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo to the Department of Justice, alleging he lied to Congress.
