More business groups have asked the Biden administration to delay its announced COVID-19 mandate until after the holiday season, coming just days after a shipping organization issued a warning that the proposed rule would trigger widespread supply chain chaos during Christmas.

Evan Armstrong, a lobbyist at the Retail Industry Leaders Association, told CNBC that his organization is concerned that President Joe Biden’s rule would trigger a surge in resignations and would cause even more staffing shortages.
