COVID-19 Action Plan
President Biden announced the COVID-19 Action Plan, which takes strategic steps to keep folks safe and beat back the pandemic. The Action Plan will aim to increase vaccinations, decrease COVID-19 hospitalizations and keep schools and our economy open.
The Department of Labor will also enact an emergency rule requiring all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workers are fully vaccinated, and if not, mandate weekly testing. Employers must also give their employees paid time off to get vaccinated — making it easier than ever for folks to take steps to protect themselves and their communities.
