America’s new soon-to-be president Joe Biden has started his first day of business by going to church.

He has arrived at his regular church near his home in Wilmington, Delaware, wearing a mask.

It comes shortly after his team announced the work of moving into power has begun, with the launch of their official transition website and social media channels as well as a mission statement on tackling coronavirus.

The team has spent months making the arrangements and on its website, BuildBackBetter.com, outlined a “seven-point plan to beat COVID-19“.

A statement on the site read: “We aren’t just going to rebuild what has worked in the past. This is our opportunity to build back better than ever.”

And Mr Biden‘s team said: “The crises we are facing are severe – from a global pandemic to an economic recession to racial injustice to the climate crisis. Our work continues full speed today.”
