Nearly 9 million American workers called out sick because of COVID-19 in the first weeks of 2022, according to the Census Bureau.

The mandate required that workers at businesses with 100 or more employees get vaccinated or submit a negative Covid test weekly.

The issue is expected to make its way to the Supreme Court.

The rule requires businesses with at least 100 employees require staff to get vaccinated or face weekly tests and face mask requirements.

Some 35 percent of small business owners said they would require proof of vaccination for customers wishing to unmask. 

Businesses that refuse to comply with the mandate will open themselves up to hefty fines up to nearly $14,000 per violation.

AAPEX has announced plans to require COVID vaccinations or negative tests prior to entry.
