Joe Biden says he would shut down US economy if recommended by scientists
The former vice president has previously called for the nation’s governors to impose mask mandates in their states, effectively a national mask mandate.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said he would follow public health advisers’ advice if they called for a national shutdown should he take office and the coronavirus had not abated.
“I would be prepared to do whatever it takes to save lives. We cannot get the country moving until we control the virus,” Mr Biden said in an interview broadcast on ABC News.
