U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy says the Biden administration hasn’t ruled out extending the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private businesses to employers with fewer than 100 workers.
On Nov. 4, the Department of Labor published its emergency temporary standard rule stipulating that businesses with 100 or more workers mandate vaccinations or weekly COVID-19 testing as well as mask-wearing for those who aren’t vaccinated. Fines could reach tens of thousands of dollars per violation.
