This week President Joe Biden used executive orders, memorandums and directives to fight the coronavirus pandemic. Among those actions, Biden signed executive orders creating a National Pandemic Testing Board to improve U.S. coronavirus testing capacity and a COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force to ensure an "equitable" pandemic response and recovery. Another executive order will enhance the nation's collection, production, sharing and analysis of data about the virus. Biden also installed a coronavirus response coordinator to oversee the White House's efforts to distribute vaccines and medical supplies and released a document outlining the administration’s COVID response.
