President Joe Biden on his first day in office took a total of 17 executive actions, including to mandate masks and having the United States rejoin the United Nations’ Paris Climate Accord.

The new president is mandating social distancing and the wearing of masks on federal property in a new executive order. He also launched a “100 Days Masking Challenge” to compel all Americans to wear a mask for the first 100 days of his administration, in efforts to prevent the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes the disease COVID-19.

Biden is also creating a “COVID-19 response coordinator” position to fill the role former Vice President Mike Pence played in the Trump administration’s Coronavirus Task Force, and will re-embed his COVID-19 pandemic response team within the National Security Council. He is also calling on Congress to pass extensions for COVID-19 aid, extend eviction and foreclosure moratoriums, and pause payments for federal loans, including student loans.

Biden took a few actions over policies to address climate change, including signing a document that allows the United States to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord within 30 days.
