US President Joe Biden says 500 million COVID-19 free rapid testing kits will be distributed as the Omicron strain of coronavirus rages in the country.
Military help for hospitals and expanded testing are among the measures he announced designed to combat its spread.
Biden said he is not planning to impose new lockdowns but stressed the need for all to get jabs.
