US Withdraws Covid Vaccination-Or-Testing Mandate For Businesses

Coronavirus: Unvaccinated employees would have to present weekly negative tests and wear face masks while at work.
President Joe Biden's administration on Tuesday formally withdrew the Covid vaccination-or-testing mandate for large businesses that was struck down by the Supreme Court.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) said that although it was withdrawing the mandate it "strongly encourages vaccination of workers against the continuing dangers posed by Covid-19 in the workplace."
The conservative-dominated Supreme Court delivered a blow to Biden this month when it blocked his vaccination-or-testing mandate for businesses with 100 employees or more.
The nation's highest court did allow a vaccination mandate for health care workers at facilities receiving federal funding to go into force.
