Hours after he was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden immediately started his mission to help curb the coronavirus pandemic by implementing new mask mandates on federal property and for interstate travel.

On Wednesday, he signed an executive order requiring both federal employees as well as visitors to "wear masks, maintain physical distance" and adhere to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention while on federal lands. This will apply to everywhere from national parks to federal monuments like the Statue of Liberty in New York.

Previously, NPR reported masks had been encouraged at national parks, but not required.
