In a not-quite prime-time address to the nation, President Biden will announce that he is signing an executive order to force vaccination on all federal employees and contractors. It has also been reported that he plans to mandate strict COVID surveillance and testing in schools.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Thursday that his plan also includes more requirements for private-sector employees, but did not explain exactly what those requirements would be.

The briefing is scheduled to start at 5:00 p.m. EDT.
