NEWS BITE: With the coronavirus cases showing bleak signs of coming down, the United States’ top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anothy Fauci, says the best way to manage the surging coronavirus and prevent future outbreaks- is by sticking to what he calls the “fundamentals.”
Dr. Fauci told the nation’s governors that those include the universal wearing of face masks, shutting bars, limiting indoor dining, avoiding crowds and frequent hand-washing.
Fauci addressed the governors via videoconference with members of the White House coronavirus task focus. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the audio.
Task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx urged governors to watch for even the tiniest increase in the percentage of positive cases, saying it means an uptick is coming.
