President Joe Biden plans to combat the Omicron variant by using the military to ramp up hospital staffing, adding vaccination sites and getting free at-home COVID-19 test kits into the hands of Americans.
Biden’s plan, released Tuesday, will mobilize an additional 1,000 troops, as needed, to COVID-19-burdened hospitals during January and February. The additional troops will include military doctors, nurses, paramedics and other medical personnel.
