Wearing mask will lead to a 'significant decrease' in the corona virus: Biden

After seeing increasing covid cases, President-elect Joe Biden said he would ask all Americans to wear a mask to prevent the spread of the coronavirus for the first 100 days of his administration as well as issue a “standing order” requiring face coverings in federal buildings and interstate transportation.

In an interview with CNN on Thursday, Biden also said that he had spoken to Dr. Anthony Fauci and asked him to stay on as the government’s top infectious disease expert. Biden also said he asked Dr. Anthony Fauci to stay on in his administration, "in the exact same role he's had for the past several presidents," as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the nation's top infectious-disease expert.

Three former presidents - Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton - have said they'd also get vaccinated publicly to show that it's safe. He said "Just 100 days to mask - not forever, just 100 days. "And I think we'll see a significant reduction in the virus."
