Disney World near Orlando, Florida, operated by Walt Disney Co, has put its Covid-19 vaccination mandate on hold, a spokesperson has said, according to Reuters.

The move comes amid the Biden administration's workplace Covid-19 vaccine rule, which requires businesses with at least 100 employees to require staff get vaccinated against Covid-19 or be tested weekly and wear a face covering at work.

A Disney spokesperson had earlier told Reuters by email: "We believe that our approach to mandatory vaccines has been the right one as we have continued to focus on the safety and well-being of our Cast Members and Guests."

"At this point, more than 90 per cent of active Florida-based Cast Members have already verified that they are fully vaccinated," the spokesperson added.
