Top coronavirus task force members testified before a congressional panel Friday as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to take its toll and states face a resurgence of cases.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield, and Assistant Secretary for Health at the Department of Health and Human Services Admiral Brett Giroir, the administration’s lead official on testing, testified before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis on national coronavirus strategy
At the hearing, which began at 9 a.m. EDT, Redfield, in addition to addressing the CDC’s current efforts, urged Americans to « be part of the public health solution. »
It was « critical, » Redfield said, to be « smart about social distancing and being in crowded spaces, » to stay six feet apart if possible and to be « vigilan » about hand washing.
