Amid the rising cases of the Omircon COVID-19 variant in the developed economy, the United States (US) Supreme Court, on a six to three vote, has blocked the Joe Biden administration’s vaccine mandate for private businesses in the country.

ConsumerConnect learnt in the regulation christened “vaccine-or-testing rules,” the mandate required large employers to vaccinate employees, or test unvaccinated employees on a regular basis.

The Supremem Court Justices, simultaneously, did allow the Biden administration to require vaccinations for healthcare workers, if their facilities accept Medicare and Medicaid.

That edict covers an estimated 10 million employees in the US, agency report stated.

The court’s majority ruled that the Biden administration probably did not have the unilateral power to impose a mandate that employers ensure their workers were vaccinated or tested every week for COVID-19.

Biden celebrated the partial victory, declaring that the mandate for healthcare workers will save lives, according to report.
