(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) Biden signed a government order for three consecutive days in office

　　China News Agency, Washington, January 23 (Reporter Chen Mengtong) "We need more action, we need to act quickly." US President Biden signed two executive orders at the White House on the 22nd to increase efforts to deal with the new crown epidemic from the economic relief level .

　　This is the three consecutive days that Biden has signed administrative orders related to the response to the epidemic since he was sworn in on the 21st.

He was the first executive order signed by the president, requiring that masks be mandatory in all federal buildings and regions.

The next day, he signed 10 more administrative orders and directives related to the response to the epidemic, and announced the implementation of the US national strategy against the epidemic.

On December 21, 2020 local time, US President Biden publicly vaccinated the new crown vaccine at a hospital in Delaware.

　　When Biden signed the executive order on the 22nd, he emphasized that “the bottom line is that we are in a state of national emergency and we need to respond to the state of emergency.” He said, “I don’t believe that Democrats or Republicans will starve or lose their jobs. But the American people will."

　　According to data released by the US Department of Labor on the 21st, affected by the new crown epidemic, the number of people applying for unemployment benefits in the US for the first time has reached 900,000 for two consecutive weeks.

The weekly average of this data in the past month reached 848,000.

　　The executive order signed by Biden on the same day aims to increase food relief for low-income families, provide government assistance to the unemployed, and clear policy obstacles for federal employees and others to obtain a minimum wage of $15 an hour.

　　However, the Associated Press pointed out that from the two executive orders signed by Biden on the same day, it is obvious that the White House wants to bail out the American people economically. Without the support of Congress, the effect of its own efforts is very limited.

　　Biden has previously announced a US$1.9 trillion epidemic relief plan, proposed a "two-step" plan for rescue and recovery, and provided financial assistance to American families, businesses, and local governments through investment in infrastructure, clean energy, and research and development. Innovation etc. promote economic recovery.

　　Biden reiterated that on the same day, "We have to complete this work and directly issue $2,000 in cash subsidies to the people."

　　The US media revealed that Diss, the director of the White House National Economic Council, will discuss the epidemic relief plan with the Congressional cross-party group over the weekend.

In the first "testing the waters" of cooperation between the White House and Congress, how Biden will use the weak advantage of the Senate and bridge the differences with Republicans will set the tone for his presidency.
