“Unlike 2020, we have both the scientific knowledge and the tools to prevent the spread of this disease. We are not going back to that.”
President Joe Biden said on Tuesday his administration is considering whether to require U.S. federal employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19. “That’s under consideration right now,” Mr. Biden told a reporter who asked whether the administration was weighing such a requirement. Mr. Biden made the remark during a visit to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in McLean, Virginia, as his administration’s health experts advised Americans fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to start wearing masks again in some circumstances due to the virus’ fast-spreading Delta variant.More Related News
