How the U.S President plans to curb the delta variant
US President Joe Biden has unveiled sweeping new Covid-19 vaccination mandates in a bid to increase vaccination numbers and curb the surging Delta variant
The President has just addressed Americans, announcing a new rule that requires all private employers with 100 or more employees to either mandate vaccines for their workforce or carry out daily testing.
The regulation will be issued by the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration “in the coming weeks”, with a likely 90-day grace period.
Around 80 million Americans will be impacted by the sweeping new measure, and it follows reports that Biden also wants to mandate vaccines for federal employees and contractors – covering several more million workers.
This is all part of a six-point plan by the Biden administration to tackle the pandemic and boost the nation’s economic prospects moving forward.
Biden will also call on governors to get all of their states’ teachers and support staff vaccinated and encourage schools to set up testing facilities.
