Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said Friday he would recommend that governors across the country issue temporary lockdowns in an effort to stem the spread of coronavirus.
"For the time being, I would," Biden told CNN's Anderson Cooper when asked if he would urge governors in every state implement a lockdown for several weeks.
"You don't know who doesn't have the virus," the former vice president continued, noting that many people who may have the virus could be asymptomatic.
President Trump has so far declined to recommend a nationwide lockdown over COVID-19, something other countries such as Italy have done in an attempt to curb the spreading virus.
