Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar stated Thursday he does not foresee governors having to implement more business lockdowns and travel restrictions after an increase in COVID-19 cases in certain states.
“You will see local community mitigation steps depending on circumstances. As I said, the hotspots are in 3 percent of American counties. About 110 counties right now are the ones that we are focused on. We can get back to work, back to school, back to worship, and more importantly, back to health care, if we act responsibly as individuals,” said Azar in an interview on Thursday.
