The organizers planning President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration said Tuesday that next month's event will include strict health and safety protocols and a “reimagined†parade in order to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee is urging Americans to avoid traveling and to watch the activities from their homes. Organizers also announced that Dr. David Kessler, a former Food and Drug Administration commissioner who advised Biden’s campaign on COVID-19, would serve as chief medical adviser to the inaugural committee.
“The pandemic is continuing to have a significant public health impact across the nation. Americans everywhere must do their part to slow the spread of the virus: wear masks, stay home, and limit gatherings,†Kessler said.
“We are asking Americans to participate in inaugural events from home to protect themselves, their families, friends, and communities,†he said.
