Biden Will Update His Administration’s Response to the Omicron Variant
President Biden will provide an update on his administration’s response to the new COVID-19 omicron variant on Monday, according to the White House, after Dr. Anthony Fauci said it will take roughly two weeks to gather more information on the new strain.
Biden met with Fauci and members of the White House COVID-19 Response Team on Sunday, two days after the World Health Organization (WHO) held an emergency meeting to discuss the new COVID-19 strain, which it labeled a variant of concern.
In a readout on Sunday, the White House said Biden will “provide an update about the new variant and the U.S. response on Monday.”
