原文

President Joe Biden has signed a raft of executive orders to boost the fight against Covid which has ravaged the US.

Vaccination will be accelerated and testing increased. Emergency legislation will be used to increase production of essentials like masks.

Mr Biden said it would take months to defeat the pandemic but America would "get through this" if people stood together.

In a break with former President Donald Trump, the policy stresses a national strategy rather than relying on states to decide what is best.
