PLAN HIGHLIGHTS

-

President Joe Biden is rolling out a national strategy to fight COVID-19, reopen the nation’s schools and restart the U.S. economy. Here are some highlights:

■ Set up federal vaccinatio­n centers, with the goal of having 100 up and running in a month, and begin a program to make vaccines available through local pharmacies.

■ Require masks on airplanes, trains and other public transporta­tion.

■ Require travelers from abroad to furnish a negative COVID-19 test before departing for the U.S. and to quarantine upon arrival.

■ Identify communitie­s that have been hit hardest by the pandemic and make sure vaccine doses reach them at no out-of-pocket cost to residents.

■ Develop a national strategy to reopen schools, hoping to meet Biden’s goal of having most K-8 schools open within his first 100 days in office.
