WASHINGTON - U.S. President Joe Biden plans to require all federal employees and government contractors to get vaccinated against COVID-19, a source briefed on the matter told Reuters on Thursday.
Biden will sign an executive order that applies to millions who work for the U.S. government, as U.S. COVID-19 cases surge among the unvaccinated. He will also lay out new steps schools and workplaces can take to mitigate the spread of the virus in a speech at 5 p.m. ET (2100 GMT) on Thursday.More Related News
