“President Biden is using his first full day in office on Thursday to go on the offensive against the coronavirus, promising to make aggressive use of his executive authority to tame, and perhaps bring to an end, the worst public health crisis in a century,” New York Times reports.
“In a 200-page document released Thursday called ‘National Strategy for the Covid-19 Response and Pandemic Preparedness,’ the new administration outlines the kind of centralized federal response that Democrats have long demanded and President Donald J. Trump refused.”
“To carry it out, Mr. Biden will sign a dozen executive orders or actions in an afternoon White House ceremony. Soon after he was sworn in on Wednesday, he signed an order requiring masks to be worn on all federal property and by all federal employees. And he urged all Americans to take this most basic of precautions for 100 days.”
