The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in challenges to two federal vaccine requirements covering workers.

The Supreme Court will hold a session Friday to decide whether the U.S. government can begin enforcing sweeping COVID-19 vaccine requirements that would impact nearly 100 million workers.

The justices will arguments over federal vaccine and testing rules for larger businesses and vaccine mandates for health care workers at facilities receiving Medicaid and Medicare funding.

All of the rules have been put on hold by courts as lawsuits challenging them are reviewed.

Written rulings could come within a matter of days.

Several states, business coalitions, groups and other opponents have challenged the Biden orders .   They say such sweeping rules cannot be imposed absent specific congressional action.
