The Biden administration’s order that most U.S. companies mandate that their workers get vaccinated or tested weekly for Covid-19 split the business community.
Many executives and business groups said they supported the government’s goal of speeding the pace of vaccinations to keep the recent surge in U.S. cases from hampering the economy. Some said they applauded the federal government’s harder stance while others, especially smaller employers and those with mostly hourly workers, cautioned the policy could be difficult to implement.
