Biden to sign executive order that will require masks on federal property
Joe Biden plans to sign more than a dozen executive actions after he is sworn-in as the 46th president of the United States on Wednesday, including one that will impose a mask mandate in federal buildings and on federal land.
The new requirement will be part of Biden's "100 Days Mask Challenge," which asks Americans to wear face masks for that time period.

Biden plans to sign another executive order that will create the position of COVID-19 Response Coordinator and restore the National Security Council's Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense, which is responsible for pandemic preparedness and was dissolved by the Trump administration in 2018.
Biden also plans to reverse President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the World Health Organization.
