Joe Biden
Democrat Joe Biden, who won the presidential elections in the United States, decided to impose compulsory wearing of masks throughout the country. This is reported by Fox News, citing sources.
In the coming days, the politician intends to call governors and mayors of large cities from both parties to induce them to introduce a mandatory mask regime. If the governor refuses, he will go to the mayors in the states and ask them to introduce them, Biden explained.
It is noted that according to US law, each state and county has the right to impose its own quarantine restrictions. Washington has no right to establish them by directive.
On November 6, it was reported that in the United States, for the first time, more than 120 thousand cases of coronavirus were detected per day. Then the country recorded 121,888 new cases of COVID-19.
The United States continues to lead the world in terms of the number of detected cases of coronavirus infection. According to Johns Hopkins University, 9.9 million people have been infected in the country since the beginning of the pandemic, and more than 237,000 cases have died.
