The Biden administration is reportedly considering relaunching a shuttered Trump administration initiative on masks.
The new coronavirus response team at the White House is considering mailing masks to everyone in the country, three people familiar with the discussions told NBC News.
United States Postal Service emails obtained in September show that the Trump administration originally considered a similar plan in the early weeks of the pandemic. The task force eventually scrapped the plan in favor of delivering masks to frontline medical workers, states and nongovernment organizations.
The new proposal has not been formalized and sent to Biden’s desk, according to NBC’s report, although White House press secretary Jen Psaki noted in Wednesday’s briefing that the president invoked the Defense Production Act to potentially surge the production of personal protective equipment.
