On September 9, the Biden Administration released a broad Executive Order (EO) focusing on COVID-19 criteria for a variety of job sectors. The most important guideline is a requirement that organizations with 100 or more employees either vaccinate their personnel or give documentation of at least a weekly COVID-19 negative test result prior to an employee entering the job. We are especially curious about how these measures will develop in the coming months. Read more about it here.
