On Wednesday, the White House made it clear in a 96-page plan that its long-term approach to handle the COVID-19 pandemic goes beyond California.
In the past week, California has outlined its endemic plan to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks with fewer disruptions to life.Los Angeles County plans to end its indoor mask requirements on Friday, March 4.
On Wednesday, the White House made it clear in a 96-page plan that its long-term approach goes beyond California. "We are moving to a time when we can work to protect against this virus and treat it, and move back towards closer to our normal routines," said Dr. Tom Inglesby, Senior Advisor to the White House's Covid Response.
The plan includes manufacturing a billion more vaccine doses per year, which is three times the nation's population. It also wants to make more free COVID tests and masks available for Americans who want them, and develop a COVID variant playbook that updates the vaccines, should it be needed. "I can't promise a new variant won't come," said President Joe Biden during his first State of the Union speech on Tuesday."But I can promise you we'll do everything in our power to be ready if it does."
