Dr. Deborah Birx said on Sunday the United States is in a 'new phase' of the coronavirus pandemic, and people in every corner of the country must take precautions, from wearing masks to practicing social distancing
Dr. Deborah Birx, coordinator of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, said on Sunday the United States is in a"new phase" of the coronavirus pandemic, and people in every corner of the country must take precautions, from wearing masks to practicing social distancing.
"What we are seeing today is different from March and April," she told CNN's Dana Bash on State of the Union."It is extraordinarily widespread. It's into the rural as equal urban areas." For those who live in regions that are less populated,"you are not immune or protected from this virus," Birx continued.
While Birx would not project how many Americans she believes will die of the virus this year, she said it is up to southern and western states where there are several hot spots to ramp up their mitigation efforts."It's not super spreading individuals," she said."It's super spreading events and we need to stop those. We definitely need to take more precautions."
Every state has to have its own"dramatically tailored" approach to fighting the coronavirus, Birx added, with a"set of recommendations based on what we are seeing at the community level, what we are seeing relevant to hospitals." As of Sunday, there are more than 4.6 million reported cases of COVID-19 in the United States, and at least 154,449 Americans have died of the virus, according to the Johns Hopkins University coronavirus database.
