Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday threatened to sue the Biden administration over an anticipated coronavirus vaccine mandate.
OSHA"has been working expeditiously to develop an emergency temporary standard that covers employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workers are fully vaccinated or undergo weekly testing to protect employees from the spread of coronavirus in the workplace," a Department of Labor spokesperson said in a Wednesday statement.
The Department added that on Tuesday,"as part of the regulatory review process," OSHA submitted"the initial text of the emergency temporary standard to the Office of Management and Budget."Nearly 70% of U.S. adults have received at least one, while more than 60% of all Americans have received both doses.
In June, 99.5% of all COVID-19 deaths were of unvaccinated people. There have been a total of 14,115 U.S. deaths as a result of breakthrough cases, or COVID-19 cases that occurred in vaccinated individuals, and 70% of those vaccinated individuals were older than 65. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has noted that no COVID-19 vaccine is 100% effective against the virus.Audrey Conklin is a digital reporter for FOX Business and Fox News.
