Coronavirus cases continue to surge in some parts of the country and the public health officials are trying to work with governors to tailor responses for each state.“What we are seeing today is different from March and April. It is extraordinarily widespread” in rural as well as urban areas. Birx, the White House task force coordinator, said people living in multigenerational households in an area that is experiencing an outbreak should wear masks inside the home to protect the elderly or those with underlying conditions.
“If we don’t do that, and if we don’t limit the indoor crowded spaces, the virus will continue to run,” he said on NBC’s “Meet the Press”.The coronavirus, which first appeared in China, has infected 4.6 million people in the US and killed more than 155,000 Americans, according to a Reuters tally.
