An advocacy group said providing information in Spanish was crucial because 'lives are on the line.'
Darryl Morin, president and board chairman of Forward Latino, an advocacy group, said information in Spanish is crucial because"lives are on the line."
"We need to have access to pertinent information, and every minute that information is not available continues to put more lives at risk," he said., prompted demands from national Latino groups for the information to be posted on the CDC site in Spanish.Rather than post it on the site, the White House provided a copy of the guidelines in Spanish on Tuesday to reporters from some of the main Latino media outlets and shared them on Twitter.
But critics pointed out that it's important to have the information in Spanish on the CDC website, where Americans are being told to go for information on the deadly virus.
