The Department of Defense (DOD) is continuing to test unvaccinated troops for COVID-19 despite the Biden administration’s instruction for all federal agencies to stop testing programs, according to Government Executive.

On Aug. 11, the Biden administration revised the Federal Agency COVID-19 Workplace Safety Protocols in view of a decreased risk of COVID-19 transmission, requiring agencies to cease testing programs that discriminated based on a person’s vaccination status. Government offices had until Aug. 22 to come into compliance with the policy, but some DOD employees reported being tested because they had not received their shots, Government Executive reported.
