Orchard said Michigan companies have been reaching out for guidance more often since President Joe Biden’s Sept. 9 announcement that he would direct the U.S. Labor Department to require businesses with 100 or more employees to have their workers vaccinated against COVID-19 or be tested weekly.

“Companies are scrambling to navigate the new rules and we are here to help,” Orchard Laboratories President Sami Ahmad said.
