U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams called on the governors of states that haven’t implemented stay-at-home orders in the face of a pandemic to provide at least one week of restrictions to curb the spread of the CCP virus.

Adams was asked during an interview on April 5 about what message he would send to the governors of those states. They should follow the guidelines set forth by the federal government, Adams said.
