U.S. President Joe Biden announced on the 4th that the U.S. government will order 20 million doses of a treatment for the coronavirus developed by Pfizer.
President Biden made this statement at the White House on the same day in his address to the public on omicron mutation.
President Biden has stressed that Pfizer treatments are a ‘game changer’ with the potential to radically change the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
“As you may have heard, the number of confirmed cases will continue to rise,” he said. “But, you can protect yourself and you must protect yourself,” he urged.
President Biden emphasized that even those who have received the vaccine, especially booster shots, will have mild symptoms even if they get infected.
In the midst of this, daily confirmed cases of coronavirus in the United States exceeded 1 million on the 3rd.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that 95% of confirmed cases of coronavirus are micronized.
Omicron mutations are more contagious than delta mutations. However, the symptoms are not known to be severe.
