The decision, by a split three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati, overturned a ruling by its counterpart in New Orleans, the Fifth Circuit, that had blocked the rule last month.

Issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the rule is expected to make its way to the Supreme Court. It has faced a wave of lawsuits from businesses, trade groups and states. The Biden administration has encouraged companies to move forward despite that uncertainty, particularly given the mounting threat of the Omicron variant and a surge of new cases across the country.

The rule, which President Biden first announced in September, orders that businesses with at least 100 employees have until Jan. 4 to mandate Covid vaccinations for their workers. They are also allowed, but not required unless the worker has an exemption for medical or religious reasons, to give their workers the option to be tested weekly.

OSHA has the authority to pass an “emergency temporary standard” provided it can show that workers are exposed to a “grave danger” and that the rule is necessary. The Sixth Circuit panel said on Friday that the agency had sufficiently demonstrated that the coronavirus pandemic meets that standard.

“OSHA explains why the mechanics of Covid-19 transmission make our traditional workplaces ripe for the spread of the disease, putting workers at heightened risk of contracting it,” wrote Judge Jane B. Stranch.
