WASHINGTON, Nov 13 ― A US appeals court yesterday affirmed its decision to put on hold an order by President Joe Biden for companies with 100 workers or more to require Covid-19 vaccines, rejecting a challenge by his administration.
The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans upheld the ruling despite the Biden administration saying on Monday that halting implementation of the rule could lead to the deaths of dozens or even hundreds of workers. The government has been sued by private employers, religious organisations and US states saying it was exceeding its authority.
The rule was issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and mandates that businesses with at least 100 employees require staff get vaccinated against Covid-19 or be tested weekly and wear a mask. ― Reuters
