0:35Now PlayingWhite House press secretary Jen Psaki says the Biden administration will provide public briefings on the coronavirus pandemic starting Wednesday.
The briefings will feature public health officials.
Psaki says they will occur three times a week and provide details on the government’s response to addressing the pandemic, including vaccine availability.
"I don't know what assessment they'll have by Wednesday," said Psaki.
"But what our objective is, is to be providing clear and accurate information to the public."
That’s a stark contrast to the Trump administration, which kept Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious-diseases expert, and other top health officials on a short leash, with the West Wing press shop tightly controlling Fauci’s media appearances and offering few public briefings as the virus raged in recent months.
Psaki also spoke about the US relationship with China going forward.
"What we've seen over the last few years is that China is growing more authoritarian at home and more assertive abroad," said Psaki.
"Beijing is now challenging our security, prosperity and values in significant ways that require a new U.S. approach."
