WASHINGTON For the second time in a week, President Biden on Friday urged for an end to remote work, framing the much-delayed return to the office for millions of white-collar workers as necessary for the United States to move beyond the pandemic.
Because of the progress weve made fighting COVID, Americans can not only get back to work, but they can go to the office and safely fill our great downtown cities again, Biden said during remarks from the White House that touched on Februarys encouraging job numbers, which saw the unemployment rate fall to 3.8 percent.
Most Americans can remove their masks, return to work and move forward safely, the president said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention loosened its guidance for face coverings last week; before that, many Democratic states had already dropped mask mandates.
Biden's remarks came on the same day that New York City Mayor Eric Adams ended a vaccine mandate in the citys public schools, as well as a proof-of-vaccination mandate for businesses like restaurants. Coming in the nations largest city, those moves had the effect of compounding Bidens message.
