Appeals Court Reinstates Biden Coronavirus Vaccination Order for Businesses

A federal appeals court of EE.UU. On Friday, he reinstated an executive order from the US president, Joe Biden, which dictates that companies with one hundred or more workers guarantee that their employees are vaccinated against covid-19.

This decision of the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati (Ohio, USA) came a month after another court of appeals blocked the measure of Biden for being “too wide”.

However, the court that issued its ruling on Friday considered that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), an agency that depends on the US Department of Labor, based the labor measure “In a large amount of information.”

“OSHA has demonstrated the widespread danger that COVID-19 poses to workers, particularly unvaccinated workers, in their workplaces.”the court said in its decision.

As a result, this court dissolved the suspension issued by the other court in November and assured that the order will go back into effect.

The guideline of Biden It also establishes that, in case of not wanting to be vaccinated, the workers of these large companies must undergo weekly covid-19 tests and also wear a mask all the time.

This has been the most significant measure applied so far in the workplace against the pandemic by the Government, since it can affect up to 84 million private sector workers, according to White House calculations.

About 70% of the adult population in the United States is already vaccinated with the full schedule, a figure that has risen in recent months since the government began to put pressure on companies to force their workers to receive the serum. .

The reinstatement of this measure by Biden, which has been criticized by Republicans, comes amid growing concern about the increase in coronavirus cases in the US after the appearance of the omicron variant.

The daily average of the last seven days has been 119,500 cases and 7,800 hospital admissions, which represents an increase of 4% compared to the previous week.

Regarding deaths, the daily average in the same period was 1,200, which is equivalent to an increase of 8% compared to the previous week.

Faced with this rebound in general, the main epidemiologist of the US Government, Anthony Fauci, indicated this Friday that the country is currently facing “A very important increase in delta”, while expecting a rise in the incidence of omicron.
