"There are six steps the president's announcing, there will be new components," Psaki told reporters on Wednesday.

"Some of that will be related to access to testing, some will be related to mandates, some will be related to how we ensure kids will be protected in schools."

When asked about how the new steps would impact Americans' lives, Psaki said that "it depends on if you're vaccinated or not."

Psaki provided few details on what mandates could be imposed on unvaccinated Americans.

On Tuesday, she told reporters on Air Force One that the federal government lacks the authority to mandate vaccines for everyone.

"There will be new components that sure, will of course impact people across the country, but we're also all working together to get the virus under control, to return to our normal lives," Psaki also said, without elaborating, on Wednesday.

Biden, who was scheduled to meet with his COVID-19 advisers on Wednesday, delivered a speech about six months ago saying the United States has "made real progress" against the virus.

Since that date, about 142 million Americans have received COVID-19 vaccines and about 950,000 people are getting vaccinated each day, according to data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
