President Joe Biden on Thursday will present a six-pronged strategy intended to fight the spread of the highly contagious COVID Delta variant and increase U.S. COVID-19 vaccinations, the White House said on Tuesday.
The United States, which leads the world in COVID-19 cases and deaths, is struggling to stem a wave of infections driven by the variant even as officials try to persuade Americans who have resisted vaccination to get the shots.
Rising case loads have raised concerns as children head back to school, while also rattling investors and upending company return-to-office plans.
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters traveling with Biden aboard Air Force One that he will lay out the six-pronged strategy 'working across the public and private sectors to help continue to get the pandemic under control.'
Asked about possible new mandates, Psaki said the White House would offer more details later about the plan and acknowledged that the federal government cannot broadly mandate that Americans get vaccinated.
'We need to continue to take more steps to make sure school districts are prepared and make sure communities across the country are prepared,' Psaki added.
On Wednesday, Biden is scheduled to meet with White House COVID-19 advisers.
The United States has recorded roughly 650,000 COVID-19 deaths and last week exceeded 40 million cases.
Reuters data shows that more than 20,800 people have died in the United States from COVID-19 in the past two weeks, up about 67 per cent from the prior two-week period.
Hospitalizations have grown, with seven U.S. states - Alaska, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Tennessee and Washington - reporting records this month.

It's a good thing I don't give a s#!t about what you think about me, huh? You, your daughter and everyone like you are part of the problem. This whole thing has nothing to do with public health. It's about power and control. Give the petty tyrants in the world the power they want just so your lives can "go back to normal" and you can visit Hawaii.
People like you complain about how egregious it all is, then roll over and do exactly what they want. You've all shown them that you are all talk, and will do what ever they want you to do just so your lives will be easy.
Shut it down.
Shut it all down.
Hard.
Nip it in the bud.
Thank you.
Red States should immediately respond with lawsuits headed streight for the Supreme Court.
No kidding. Even after years of demonstrable propaganda and outright lies 24/7 by the MSM/Government, FR has become infested with CDC swallowing true believers who nod in agreement with every WuFlu utterance that stumbles from Jao Xiden's lips.
