America's top infectious disease expert has identified the five measures that could stop coronavirus infections surging. White House adviser Dr Anthony Fauci, who has often been at loggerheads with President Donald Trump during the pandemic, has outlined the key principles as the US death toll continues to run amok.
Speaking on MSNBC on Wednesday, he said universal wearing of masks, avoiding crowds, physical distancing of at least six feet, typical hand hygiene and avoiding bars or closing them where possible will help curb the pandemic.
Dr Fauci said the increase in positive Covid-19 test results in states such as Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Indiana pointed towards a major resurgence in those areas.
