One Month of Executive Orders for the Biden Administration: Public Health Impact Chart

Overview

As of February 20, 2021, President Biden had issued 32 Executive Orders (EOs), several of which are intended to protect the public’s health. While the majority of the EOs use the power of the federal government to protect Americans from the COVID-19 pandemic, there are also measures designed to strengthen our public health infrastructure more broadly, and specifically relate to the impact of climate change. This table details Biden Administration EOs that impact public health and provides a summary of each EO’s provisions.
