The hearing will explore the balance that state and federal officials must strike between the health of citizens and the economy.
WASHINGTON – Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top member of the White House coronavirus task force, plans to warn a panel of Senators on Tuesday about the danger of new COVID-19 outbreaks if states start to reopen their economies too quickly amid the pandemic.
Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine in the Department of Health Policy at Vanderbilt University who won’t be testifying at the hearing, said the keys to reopening society are to adapt to new behaviors to prevent the spread of disease, such as wearing masks, keeping six feet apart and washing hands regularly. Testing and tracing the contacts of infected people are also important to corral the virus, he said.

The reasons for reopening and the risks must all be explained or the decisions might not be sustainable, Aaltonen said. , while keeping restrictions on other businesses. She plans to announce Tuesday more changes scheduled for Friday.
