The US President-elect announced the formation of his team to combat the Corona virus, and said that he sees a sign of "hope" in two companies announcing an effective vaccine against Corona, while his Vice President Kamala Harris confirmed their readiness to combat the virus and rebuild the economy.

Biden announced today, Monday, that he has chosen scientists to oversee his administration's response to the pandemic, indicating his intention to prioritize the fight against "Covid-19".

In a statement commenting on the announcement by two companies of a new vaccine, Biden said, "I congratulate the brilliant women and men who have contributed to this breakthrough and in giving us reason to feel hopeful."

He added that it is also important at the same time to realize that the end of the battle against "Covid-19" will take additional months.

The American companies "Pfizer" and the German company "BioNTech" said that the preliminary results of the third phase of clinical trials show protection for patients 7 days after the second dose of the vaccine and 28 days after the first dose.

The transition team of US President-elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris issued a statement of their activities on Monday.

According to the statement, Biden and Harris are receiving a briefing from the advisors of the transition team on the Corona pandemic, and are holding meetings with the transition team.

Biden will deliver a speech this afternoon announcing his plans to confront the pandemic and build the economy.

In a tweet on Twitter, Harris said: Joe Biden and I are ready to take control of the Corona virus and rebuild our economy.

. @ JoeBiden and I are ready to get COVID-19 under control.

We're ready to rebuild our economy.

We're ready to meet the challenges of the climate crisis.

We're ready to act to address systemic racism.

And we're ready to fight for you.

US President Donald Trump also said that the stock market has risen significantly, and added in a tweet on Twitter that there is a vaccine for the Corona virus that will be soon and effective by 90%.

A court battle

On the other hand, outgoing President Donald Trump continues to insist that he is the winner of the elections, which he believes have been rigged and tampered with.

The Axios website quoted Republican Party leaders close to President Trump as saying that the court battle to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's victory could last a month or more.

The site's sources said that this legal battle is likely to fail.

And the site reported that there are internal efforts to dissuade President Trump from continuing the attack in the same way as his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani - who urges Trump not to admit defeat - at a time when Biden talks daily about messages of unity and overcoming differences.

On the other hand, the site quoted close to Trump as saying that the latter had no plans to call for national unity, and one Republican said that "Trump is angry, fickle and miserable," as he put it.

And the same source added that there is a great division in the inner circle close to Trump, between those who advocate the continuation of the judicial battle and those who are trying to push the president to admit defeat.

And Axios had quoted advisers to Trump as confirming that the president would hold rallies similar to those he held during his election campaign to protest the election results.

The same site also reported that the Trump campaign will announce its task forces to continue the recount of votes in major states.

As part of the judicial confrontation course, the Trump campaign decided to appoint Republican Representative Doug Collins to lead the legal team tasked with pursuing the Georgia vote recount.

Amid all this, the Washington Post reported that President Trump's appointed Public Services chief Emily Murphy is delaying the start of the transition process by refusing to sign a letter allowing President-elect Biden's team to officially begin work this week.

Murphy's responsibilities include signing official papers that allow the presidential transition team access to federal offices to begin the transition process.
