The requirement could carry a $14,000 fine per violation and would affect two-thirds of the country's workforce [around 100 million workers]. He also encouraged large entertainment venues to require proof of vaccination in order to enter.

Biden had given federal workers the choice of undergoing regular testing instead of getting vaccinated, but that testing opt-out will no longer be an option. Biden announced that Walmart, Amazon, and Kroger will start selling at-home rapid tests for no profit for the next three months, resulting in a 35% price cut by the end of the week. Medicaid will also cover at-home tests for free for beneficiaries.
