Fauci to enter 'modified quarantine': report
By J. Edward Moreno - 05/09/20 08:47 PM EDT
Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a key member of the White House coronavirus task force, is set to enter a “modified†quarantine after making “low risk†contact with a coronavirus case, the public health official told CNN.
By “low risk†Fauci indicated that he was not in close proximity to the staffer while they were known to be positive for the virus. He will be staying at home and teleworking while wearing a mask continually for 14 days.
The Vice President’s Office, which leads the White House coronavirus task force, did not immediately respond to an inquiry from The Hill.
Fauci is taking more relaxed measures than Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Stephen Hahn and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Robert Redfield, both of whom said Saturday that they are undergoing a full quarantine.
