Joe Biden unveiled a new set of executive actions Thursday to address the looming Omicron variant. 

In an address from the White House, he urged a nationwide effort to increase vaccine and booster shots for Americans. The administration said it will extend the mask requirement for domestic flights to March 18, and increase restrictions on international travelers into the United States. 

As reported by Just the News, senior administration officials said pharmacies will send millions of texts and emails encouraging Americans to get the booster. The AARP is also working with the administration to urge seniors to get vaccinated. 

Biden said Omicron is a “cause for concern, not a cause for panic.” 

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that domestic travel restrictions may still be an option. 

“Nothing is off the table, including domestic travel,” she said. “But we do have some strong protections in place already, including requirement of mask wearing, which was extended, doubling of fines if people are not in compliance.”
