Public Health Measures Can Help Turn Around Pandemic, Dr. Fauci Says

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and infectious Diseases, says that public health measures like wearing a mask, washing your hands, and maintaining social distance can help turn the coronavirus pandemic around. Dr. Fauci makes the comments during a conversation at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., as the number of daily infections surpasses 143,000--a level he warned Congress earlier this year was possible if the country didn't follow best CDC guidelines. "We're in a difficult situation...When I testified before the Congress four months ago, I said if we did not get control of this that we would reach 100,000 a day and people thought I was being hyperbolic and now look what's happening," Dr. Fauci says. close
