Key parts of Biden’s plan to confront delta variant surge

Associated Press  

President Joe Biden has unveiled a new “action plan” plan to confront the COVID-19 surge that’s being driven by the spread of the delta variant. It mandates vaccines for federal workers and contractors and certain health care workers, requires employees at companies with 100 or more workers to be vaccinated or tested weekly, lays the groundwork for a booster shot campaign and recommends that large venues require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test. Key parts of the plan: VACCINE MANDATES — All federal workers and contractors must get vaccinated, with limited exceptions. — About 17 million health care workers in hospitals, clinics and other facilities that accept Medicare and Medicaid payments must get vaccinated. — Some 300,000 employees of Head Start early childhood education and other federal education programs must get vaccinated.
