Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and member of the White House's coronavirus task force, tells CNN he will begin a"modified quarantine" after making a"low risk" contact with the White House staffer who tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
