Joe Biden

President Biden has ordered more than 17 million health care workers to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Some health care employers fear losing large numbers of workers who don't want the shots.

The Labor Department is launching a program to protect outdoor workers, including agricultural, construction and delivery workers, as well as those working indoors in warehouses, factories and kitchens.

With efforts to vaccinate the world's poorest countries lagging, President Biden plans a virtual summit alongside the United Nations General Assembly to set new goals in the pandemic fight.

Prior to the Biden administration annoucing national requirements for health workers, hospitals in this part of Florida have taken different approaches to mask and vaccine mandates.

Gov. Ron DeSantis says the White House's plan to take control of distribution will abruptly result in "massive, massive" cuts in doses coming to Florida.

BayCare's CEO issued a “letter to the community” that described a “conundrum” that hospitals have faced because of severe staffing shortages during the pandemic.

President Biden said he was disappointed in Gov. Ron DeSantis and other Republican governors who "have been so cavalier with the health of these kids, so cavalier with the health of their communities."

Biden says, "If you break the rules, be prepared to pay." He calls the harassment aimed at airline employees over masks "wrong" and "ugly."

The president outlined a forthcoming federal rule that all businesses with 100 or more employees have to ensure that every worker is either vaccinated for COVID-19 or submit to weekly testing.

The Biden administration plans to unveil another strategy to fight the latest COVID-19 surge driven by the delta variant, after a series of setbacks and missteps in the battle against the pandemic.
