Earlier this week, the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force released new guidance urging agencies to ease some COVID-19 protocols by August 22.

Last week, a federal judge ordered that the Biden Administration maintain pandemic-related restrictions outlined in the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) public health directive Title 42.

Senators Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and James Lankford (R-OK) introduced last week legislation to ensure the administration has a comprehensive plan in place before lifting Title 42.

After the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced in new, updated guidance that fully vaccinated individuals do not need to wear masks in both indoor and outdoor settings, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) sent agencies an email lifting the mask mandate in federal facilities while retaining other pandemic protocols.
