Biden made the remark when pressed by German chancellor Angela Merkel, who is currently visiting Washington, on the resumption of travel between the US and Europe.
Travel between the US and Europe has effectively been on hold for 16 months now owing to an edict signed off by former US president Donald Trump.
"It’s in process now," said Biden. "I’ll be able to answer that question within the next several days. I’m waiting to hear from our folks in our Covid team as to when that should be done."
