Although vaccination has begun, the spread continues and the number of confirmed cases and deaths continues to increase.

US President-elect Joe Biden, who will take office on the 20th, has directly addressed the Corona 19 situation.

The biggest thing is the expansion of vaccination.

Elect Biden has announced a goal of getting 100 million doses of vaccine by the 100th day after taking office.

He stressed that because the health of the people is literally in jeopardy, it is time to set big goals and implement them with courage and confidence.

To this end, it has announced that it will expand the supply of various equipment such as syringes, needles, and glass bottles necessary for vaccination through private companies using the Defense Goods Production Method.

On the first day of his inauguration, Biden said he would instruct the establishment of federally funded community vaccine centers in gyms and community centers.

Along with this, he said he will also sign an executive order instructing people to wear masks and emphasize wearing masks for their loved ones.

When you take office, you will sign an executive order ordering you to wear a mask. This includes federal employees, buildings, and cross-state travel by train or plane.

It also said it would ask state and local governments to enforce the order to wear masks by spring, and stressed that this was not a political issue, it was a life-saving thing.
