On Jan. 12, a federal appeals court in Ohio upheld a lower court’s ban on forcing federal contractors to ensure that their workers in Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee are vaccinated against COVID-19.

A panel of the Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati affirmed a lower court’s 2021 ruling that said the Biden administration’s mandate requiring workers contracting with the federal government to wear face masks and be vaccinated for COVID-19 was unconstitutional.
