US President Joe Biden today (Thursday) signed an executive order instructing those entering the United States to enter two weeks of self-isolation and present a negative corona test before boarding a plane on their way to the country.

The order signed by the president also requires the wearing of masks at airports and public transportation systems within the United States.

The purpose of the new measures is to introduce a stricter policy in relation to the corona virus, which has claimed the lives of more than 400,000 American citizens.

"Things will get much worse before they get better," President Biden said, predicting the death toll from Corona would reach half a million by the end of next month.

"Although the vaccine offers us tremendous hope, the vaccination process has so far been a grim failure. I understand the frustration and anger."

Biden predicted that it would be months before most U.S. citizens were vaccinated but promised not to skimp on efforts until the goal was achieved.

"I will put into the picture the full power of the federal government, a moth that we can slow down the spread of the virus," the president said.

President Biden's entourage is outraged at the lack of coordination and disorder, they claim, left behind by the previous administration.

Sources close to the president have claimed that Biden is outraged at what he sees as a disastrous conduct in the population vaccination process.
