President Joe Biden on Monday urged governors, mayors, and other officials to maintain or reinstate the policy that people wear masks in public when social distancing isn’t available to prevent the spread of the CCP virus.

“I’m reiterating my call for every governor, mayor, and local leader to maintain and reinstate the mask mandate. Please, this is not politics. Reinstate the mandate if you let it down,” he said at an event in Washington D.C.
