Biden Administration Misses Its Own Deadline for Mask Standards

The Biden administration missed its self-imposed deadline to issue temporary mask standards for workplaces as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration tries to determine whether an emergency order is needed to protect workers from the coronavirus, according to a report.

President Biden in an executive order on Jan. 21 directed the government “consider whether any emergency temporary standards on COVID-19, including with respect to masks in the workplace, are necessary, and if such standards are determined to be necessary, issue them by March 15, 2021.”

But no standard was issued Monday, Fox News reported.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki acknowledged that the administration has blown the deadline, but she said OSHA has yet to make a determination as she responded to a question about whether the regulation would harm businesses already struggling to survive.
