Fauci: 'We had a superspreader event in the White House'
By Peter Sullivan - 10/09/20 03:31 PM EDT
Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious disease expert, said Friday that there was a "superspreader event" at the White House late last month, a stark assessment of the string of positive coronavirus cases among the president and top aides.
"Well, I think the data speak for themselves. We had a superspreader event in the White House, and it was in a situation where people were crowded together and were not wearing masks," Fauci told CBS News Radio.
His remarks came in response to a question about the lack of mask-wearing at the White House, and whether testing alone could stop the virus from spreading.
At least 34 White House staffers and contacts have been infected, according to a Federal Emergency Management Agency memo obtained by ABC News.
