The Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced Wednesday that it has suspended the implementation and enforcement of President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate.
This comes after the U.S. Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit ordered the mandate be halted until further notice.
“The court ordered that OSHA ‘take no steps to implement or enforce’ the (Emergency Temporary Standard,) ‘until further court order,'” OSHA said in a statement on its website. “While OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the ETS pending future developments in the litigation.”
