Doctor Deborah Birx warned on Sunday that as the novel coronavirus pandemic enters a new phase that is impacting both those in rural and urban places equally, some people may need to start wearing masks even when they are at home.
As The New York Times reports, the coordinator of the Trump administration’s coronavirus task force warned those in the U.S. that the disease wasn’t the same as it was when it first started to impact the United States. Initially, the virus was mostly seen in urban areas and ports of entry for travel, such as New York City, Seattle, and San Francisco. This is something that those who live in less populated towns need to take seriously, she suggested.
“What we are seeing today is different from March and April — it is extraordinarily widespread,” she said. “It’s into the rural as equal urban areas. So everybody who lives in a rural area, you are not immune.”
