"U.S. President Joe Biden said on Dec. 15 that COVID-19 cases 'are rising' across the country.
The remarks, which Biden posted on Twitter, came as American families are getting together for the holidays.
The White House is resuming a program to send COVID-19 testing kits to households requesting them ahead of a potential winter surge.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the seven-day average of weekly new COVID-19 cases reached more than 65,000 last week, an increase of nearly 50 percent compared to the previous week.
More than 99 million COVID-19 cases and 1.08 million deaths had been reported nationwide as of Dec. 7.
