WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden warned state officials who lifted mask mandates to reinstate them as well as maintain any preventative health measures to stave off a potential fourth COVID-19 surge, Monday."If we let our guard down now, we can see the virus getting worse, not better.
People are letting up on precautions, which is a very bad thing. Please, this is not politics, reinstate the mandate if you let it down," Biden said."Now is not the time to let down," Biden continued."Now’s not the time to celebrate.
It is time to do what we do best as a country: our duty, our jobs, take care of one another.""Fight to the finish," he added. "Don’t let up now."FILE - Vice President Kamala Harris looks on as U.S.
