Supreme Court Halts COVID-19 Vaccine Rule For U.S. Businesses

The conservative majority ruled the administration overstepped its authority by seeking to impose the OSHA's vaccine-or-test rule on U.S. businesses.

The Supreme Court has stopped the Biden administration from enforcing a requirement that employees at large businesses be vaccinated against COVID-19 or undergo weekly testing and wear a mask on the job.

At the same time, the court is allowing the administration to proceed with a vaccine mandate for most health care workers in the U.S.

The court's orders Thursday during a spike in coronavirus cases was a mixed bag for the administration's efforts to boost the vaccination rate among Americans.
