OSHA suspends Emergency Temporary Standard on COVID-19 vaccination
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has suspended activities related to implementation and enforcement of its Emergency Temporary Standard on COVID-19 vaccination and testing pending future developments in litigation, the agency announced on its website. On Nov. 12, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit granted a motion to stay the ETS and ordered that OSHA take no steps to implement or enforce the ETS until further court order, the agency said.
