New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo: 'Nobody disagrees that we want to get out of this situation. Nobody. You don't need protests to convince anyone in this country that we have to get back to work.'
Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the nation's top medical experts on the coronavirus pandemic, warned Monday that reopening the U.S. economy too soon could"backfire."
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who appeared on "Good Morning America," April 20, 2020.Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the United States is currently conducting about 1.5 to 2 million COVID-19 tests per week and is"certainly going to need more."
The testing survey will sample 3,000 people across the state to help determine the percentage of the state's population that has developed the antibodies to fight the virus, potentially allowing more individuals to safely return to work, according to a press release from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office.
"There's an assumption -- a reasonable assumption -- that when you have an antibody that you are protected against reinfection, but that has not been proven for this particular virus," he told ABC News in an interview Monday on"Good Morning America." At least 1,828 inmates and 109 staff members at the Marion Correctional Institution in Marion, Ohio, have tested positive for COVID-19, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections.
Edward Kallon, the U.N. humanitarian coordinator in Nigeria, said a Nigerian man working as a nurse in the country's war-torn Borno state had died over the weekend. It's believed to be the first COVID-19 death in the northeastern state.
