Where the Candidates Stand: COVID-19

Joe Biden

Over the last four months, Joe Biden has laid out comprehensive plans with five basic elements that he would do as President to address COVID-19: (1) test-and-trace, (2) sufficient personal protective equipment (PPE) for all, (3) science-based treatments and vaccines, (4) steps to reopen safely and effectively, and (5) protecting those at high-risk, including older Americans. 

Biden has repeatedly said he hopes that Trump will use these intervening months to adopt the policies he’s outlined. Biden has been consistent in urging the public to take the virus seriously, adopt the advice given by public health officials, and has campaigned in adherence to public health protocols.
