The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) urged Americans at a Senate hearing on Sept. 16 not to dismiss the efficacy of wearing facial coverings amid the CCP virus outbreak, saying that face masks are “more guaranteed” to offer protection from the virus than a vaccine.

Speaking at a hearing of the Senate Appropriations subcommittee, Dr. Robert Redfield responded to questions about the administration’s response to the pandemic, including on the subjects of testing, vaccine development, and case counts. He also stressed the importance of mask-wearing.
