WASHINGTON: White House health experts are warning of an uptick in the percentage of people testing positive for COVID-19 in US cities including Boston, Chicago and Washington, urging local leaders to maintain health safety measures to avoid a surge.
White House data shows small increases in the percentage of positive COVID-10 tests in Chicago, Boston and Detroit and those places need to"get on top of it", Birx said.Even in cities and states where most people are doing things right, Fauci said, a segment of people not wearing masks or following social distancing remains vulnerable to infection and can keep the virus smoldering in US communities.
White House coronavirus experts have in recent days sent regular warnings to cities and states not to relax anti-coronavirus measures too much before the virus is under sufficient control. President Donald Trump, in contrast, has played down the staying power of the virus, saying on Wednesday"it will go away like things go away" as he urged US schools to reopen on time for face-to-face lessons.
