Joe Biden on Thursday called for a mask mandate that would cover all 50 states, as coronavirus deaths in the U.S. approached 170,000 and cases continue to rise.
At a campaign event in Wilmington, Del., the presumptive Democratic nominee for president urged governors to be in one accord and require universal use of masks, citing “overwhelming evidence” that wearing a mask helps prevent the spread of the deadly disease. Public health experts are almost unanimous in agreeing that masks help curb the transmission of the coronavirus.
“This is not about Democrat, Republican or independent,” he said. “It’s about saving Americans’ lives. So let’s institute a mask mandate nationwide, starting immediately, and we will save lives.”since the coronavirus began ravaging the country in March, while others have left it up to local officials, typically mayors, to require masks in their communities. Many large retailers, including Target and Costco, are requiring customers to wear masks inside their stores.
