US COVID-19 Expert Advises States to Pause Reopening Plans

VOA News

   The top U.S. infectious-disease expert called on U.S. states with a
   resurgence of COVID-19 infections to pause their reopening plans to
   prevent the further spread of the ailment caused by the novel
   coronavirus.

   In an interview Friday with The Washington Post, Dr. Anthony Fauci said
   states may not necessarily have to go all the way back to a complete
   shutdown but added, "You certainly have to call a pause and maybe even
   a backing up a bit."

   Fauci also said that for the other states, "Please take a look at the
   example of what happens when you open in a way that might be too
   quickly." He said, "Everybody should be trying to reopen America
   again," but that it should be done in accordance with set guidelines.
