Court Halts COVID-19 Vaccination/Testing Mandate for Businesses

A Federal Court of Appeals temporarily halted the Biden administration's OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) that required businesses with over 100 employees to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine or regular testing.

The Stay was issued by a three judge panel at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, following a request by Texas, Utah, Mississippi and South Carolina, as well as businesses who claimed they would be adversely impacted.

The judges wrote: "Because the petitions give cause to believe there are grave statutory and constitutional issues with the Mandate, the Mandate is hereby STAYED pending further action by this court.”
