The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday reaffirmed its decision to block an order by President Joe Biden requiring companies with 100 or more workers to mandate COVID-19 vaccines or weekly testing for their employees. In the 22-page opinion, the appeals court said the mandate issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is "fatally flawed," The Hill reports. It also prohibited the agency from enforcing the mandate pending review of a motion for permanent injunction. The ruling mirrors an earlier decision from Nov. 6.
