The Biden executive order is also expected to direct federal agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to examine whether there are xenophobic references like "China Virus" in any existing policies, directives or government websites published by the Trump administration.
A CBS News review of COVID-19-related executive orders issued by the Trump administration did not find any specific reference to "China virus," the term the former president often used to blame the Chinese government for the pandemic. But if the term is found in existing policies, the forthcoming executive action is expected to order its removal.
The new order is also expected to task HHS with developing language and cultural guidance training related to COVID-19, including making sure vaccine and health information from the federal government is available in more languages, according to one of the outside advisers. Broader language guidance about stereotypes and myths like "model minority" or "perpetual foreigner," was also discussed as being addressed in the White House guidance.
