Biden will send masks to every home in America
US President Joe Biden intends to send masks to all homes in America, reports zakon.kz with a link to Lad Bible.
Thus, he intends to convince Americans to wear them and stop infections in the country.
It is noted that the current administration is reviving a plan rejected by Trump last year at the peak of the pandemic.
The head of the White House administration, Ron Klein, said that the details of this action would appear later.
Health authorities recommended doing this, but Trump for some reason vetoed. We’re looking at what can be done with bulk shipments. I hope that in the next few days or next week we can announce some progress on this issue. But, of course, this is part of the plan. We will do our best to make masks more accessible to people in order to increase their supply, ”he said.
The President of the United States is in favor of 100-day wearing of masks to fight the coronavirus in the country. It is reported that the weekly figure for infections in the United States is on a downward trend.
Last year’s plan was for the US Postal Service to distribute 650 million masks. However, it was canceled because some advisers to the former president feared the move “could cause anxiety or panic.”
A poll by the Center for Economic and Social Research at the University of Southern California at Dornsif last month found 83% of Americans consider wearing a mask to be an effective way to protect against Covid-19. 51% reported that they often or always wore a mask when they were in close contact with people outside their social circle.
