President Biden’s five-point plan to fight COVID this winter


Today. I'm back to announce our action plan to battle COVID-19 this winter. Not that any of us are surprisingly views because it's combined advice from all of you that we developed this plan and it doesn't include shutdowns or lockdowns, but widespread vaccinations and boosters and testing a lot more. There are five key actions that I want to see us take this winter. First of all, the press is expanding the nationwide booster campaign with more outreach, more appointments more hours more times and sites to walk in providing boosters shots for up to 100 and 10 million americans who are eligible for boosters for the second point is that launching new family vaccination clinics to make it easier for Children, parents and whole families to get vaccinated into one place and new policies to keep our Children in school instead of quarantining them at home. The third piece of this is making free at home test more available than ever before and having them covered by your private insurance plans available in thousands of locations and available community health centers and other sites for the uninsured don't have insurance for increasing our surge response teams that are our doctors, our nurses, I know people in this audience know incredibly well about what a search team is, but uh, medical staff into communities with rising cases and overburdened hospitals and short on personnel. The fifth thing we're doing to accelerate efforts to vaccinate the rest of the world and strengthen the strengthen international travel rules for people coming to United States. I plan to announce my plan, I'm announcing today pulls no punches In the fight against COVID-19 and it's a plan that I think should unite us. I know COVID-19 has been very divisive in this country has become a political issue, which is a sad, sad commentary. It shouldn't be, but it has been now as we move into the winter and face the challenges of this new variant. This is a moment we can put the devices behind us. I hope this is a moment we can do what we haven't been able to do enough of through this whole pandemic, get the nation to come together, unite the nation and a common purpose.
