US President-elect, Joe Biden is to make tackling the coronavirus pandemic his top priority following his win over Donald Trump, his team says.
Announcing the first steps in his transition plan, his team said there would be more testing and Americans would be asked to wear masks.
He will also focus on the economy, tackling racism and climate change.
Mr Trump has yet to concede and Mr Biden’s win remains a projection as key states are still counting votes.
However the Democrat is forging ahead with his plans for assuming power in January after major US networks called the election in his favour on Saturday.
