Biden, says if they refuse than he will go to mayors and county executives and get local masking requirements in place.
As for social distancing, Biden's plan says it will be used as more of a "dial" approach that will determine the risk of spread using evidence-based guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a move Siegel says is a mistake.
"I don't think social distancing is dial. I think masks are a dial," Siegel said.
"Social distancing is something we should just be doing right now. You never know how much virus was in the community."
He believes physical distancing is actually more important to curbing the spread than masks are.
"I think physical distancing is more important than masks," Siegel argued.
"If you're 10 feet away from someone, you're not going to get the virus. If you're one foot away with a mask, you might."
Biden on Monday is slated to announce his coronavirus task force, which will be headed by Vivek Murthy, the former U.S. surgeon general, and David Kessler, the former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.
