Anthony Fauci warned Friday that the recent spikes in coronavirus cases could spread throughout the country and pleaded with Americans to practice social distancing to address recent outbreaks.
Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert and a member of the White House coronavirus task force, said at a televised briefing in Washington, D.C., on Friday afternoon that Americans have a “societal responsibility†to practice social distancing in order to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Fauci said Americans could “be either part of the solution or part of a problem.â€
