There will be a focus on furthering protection for those who are vaccinated, keeping schools open safely and stepping up requirements for COVID testing and the wearing of face masks.

Finally, the president will focus on protecting the country’s economic recovery and improving care for those who have been infected with the virus.

“We know that increasing vaccinations will stop the spread of the pandemic we’ll get the pandemic under control, we’ll return people to normal life. That’s what our objective is,” said White House spokesperson Jen Psaki.

Details on all these points are expected later today.

The president is set to speak at 5 p.m.
