President Biden leaned inches from someone’s face to urge them to distance themselves socially while advancing the vaccine’s progress on Tuesday afternoon.
The video shows the president pointing to his face mask, leaning towards someone sitting and encouraging them to follow the Coronavirus guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“Keep wearing a mask, wash your hands and social distance – which I do not do,” he jokes, making a laugh from a group of people outside the camera.
Biden commented on the state’s vaccination push from the State Dining Room after visiting a clinic in Alexandria, Va.

He said more than 554,000 Americans had died from the virus, and urged the public to continue to follow the CDC’s health guidelines as the vaccine’s explosion increases rapidly.
“What we are doing now is going to determine how many people we will save or lose in April and May and June before we get to July 4th,” the president said.

He predicted that by the end of May, the “vast majority of Americans” would at least get their first vaccination.
“Better times lie ahead,” he said. “As I said earlier, we can have a safe Fourth of July with your family and friends in small groups in your backyard.”
