Biden and Harris will follow tradition and be sworn in at the Capitol’s West Front, but other parts of the celebration will be largely online because of the coronavirus pandemic.
On Tuesday, the Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC), which oversees planning for the event, announced health protocols to promote safety on Inauguration Day. The Committee said it is working with the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies to plan an event that honors and resembles sacred American traditions while keeping Americans safe and preventing the spread of COVID-19.
