President-elect Joe Biden has criticised the Trump administration for the pace of distributing Covid-19 vaccines, predicting “things will get worse before they get better” in regard to the pandemic.

“We need to be honest — the next few weeks and months are going to be very tough, very tough for our nation. Maybe the toughest during this entire pandemic,” Mr Biden said during remarks in Wilmington, Delaware on Tuesday.
