Biden to push masks, vaccines, school reopenings in COVID-19 plan

Al Jazeera  

US president-elect announces picks for key health roles and urges Congress to provide more funding for vaccines. Speaking from his transition headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, President-elect Biden said his top goals, developed with US infectious disease scientist Dr Anthony Fauci, involve distributing vaccines, reopening schools and requiring mask-wearing “where possible”. Wear a mask for just 100 days’.” Biden wants to see 100 million vaccine doses delivered to Americans within the first 100 days of his administration, a crucial period of time considered vital to the success of a new presidency. Biden said his team’s “initial review” of plans in place under the Trump administration shows additional funding from Congress will be necessary for vaccine distribution. “This is my core COVID health care team,” Biden said, adding he would be adding “more leaders to oversee vaccine distribution, supply-chain testing and other key functions”.
