US President Joe Biden urged Americans to wear masks throughout 2021, despite plans for large-scale vaccinations. He is quoted by Fox News.
The politician stressed that even being three meters from other people, he would still wear a mask. According to Biden, this measure could help save the lives of many people.
Fox News recalls that health officials have repeatedly pushed for safety precautions even after the start of mass vaccinations.
78-year-old Biden received a Pfizer / BioNTech drug on December 21. Then he said that he did it to set an example to fellow citizens and show the safety of the drug. The politician expressed hope that residents will start going to vaccination centers immediately after the distribution of the vaccine. He received the second dose of the drug on January 11th.
