Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar appeared before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee to testify on President Trump’s fiscal year 2021 budget request for his department. While senators asked the secretary about a range of health issues, the majority of the hearing focused on the coronavirus outbreak in China that was beginning to spread to other Asian nations as well as parts of Europe, including Italy. Secretary Azar talked about the steps the administration was taking to prevent and mitigate the virus and how prepared the U.S. would be for a domestic outbreak. Senators of both parties raised concerns about the administration’s $2.5 billion supplemental request to combat the virus and called for greater transparency with the federal government on its preparedness and response activities. close
