After the COVID-19 coronavirus killed more than 1 million people in the US on Tuesday, US President Joe Biden launched a plan to combat biological threats and get ready for the next pandemic.In order to establish a strategy and an implementation plan to prepare for the next time a virus spreads widely in the United States, Biden signed three documents on biodefense security.
According to the White House’s National Biodefense Strategy, the United States must deal with “threats posed by terrorist groups or adversaries trying to utilise biological weapons, and unintentional release of biological pathogens.”In a memo that he signed, Biden establishes a system for government departments to coordinate biodefense policies under the direction of the White House.
