Top US health official wants ‘everything done’ to contain virus as Trump 'finally' dons mask
A top US health official on Sunday said with deaths from Covid-19 expected to continue rising in coming weeks, “everything should be on the table,” including renewed lockdowns in hard-hit states.
In particular, he called for the re-closing of bars, greater spacing in restaurants and the near-universal wearing of masks in the areas most afflicted, which are largely in southern states that reopened aggressively. Giroir’s comments came on a weekend when states across the country recorded new highs in coronavirus cases. Seven states set one-day death records this week.
But Giroir stressed that progress is being made against the coronavirus pandemic, with more testing and new treatments available.
