President Biden first introduced a quarantine policy and measures to expand screening and vaccinations for travelers visiting the United States.
He signed 10 executive orders on the government’s response to Corona 19 at the White House.
“More than 400,000 Americans died of Corona 19, which is more than the number of deaths in World War II,” he said. “This is an exhibition situation.”
In addition to wearing a mask, President Biden said, “Apart from wearing a mask, everyone traveling to the United States from another country will need to be inspected before boarding an aircraft, before departure, and will need to be isolated when arriving in the United States.”
The screening requirements for travelers to the United States were also announced by the former administration of Donald Trump, but quarantine was only a recommendation.
The executive order includes expanding production of materials to strengthen response to Corona 19 and establishing an inspection committee.
In addition, the’National Infectious Disease Inspection Committee’ to improve corona 19 testing capabilities and the’Corona 19 Health Equity Task Force’ to ensure fair access to treatment were established.
In addition, they signed each other to promote the development of therapeutic agents and to prepare vaccination centers to increase vaccination.
“Our plan is to restore public trust,” said President Biden. “We will ensure that experts and scientists work free from political interference and make strict decisions based solely on science and health, not political results.”
