President Biden spoke on his administration's effort to get more Americans vaccinated and plan to combat the spread of the Delta variant. Millions of federal employees will be expected to provide proof of coronavirus vaccination or face obligatory masking, weekly testing, distancing, and other new regulations. President Joe Biden said on Thursday that all civilian government employees would be required to submit their COVID-19 vaccination status or face stringent testing, social distance and masking procedures, and travel restrictions. The new strict guidelines are intended to increase vaccination rates among many Americans who get government salaries while also setting an example for private businesses across the country.
