WASHINGTON Dr. Anthony Fauci said in a Tuesday radio interview he had not talked with President Donald Trump in two weeks.
Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told NPR's "1A," which is produced out of WAMU in Washington, D.C., that the last time he talked to Trump was "two weeks ago" and it was about "vaccine development efforts."
The coronavirus task force has appeared in public less frequently as the Trump administration has shifted its focus to reopening the economy after safer-at-home orders were implemented to limit the spread of the virus.
Asked if any states had reopened too soon, Fauci said he would not say some states had reopened "too soon" but "certainly before they got to the benchmarks they needed to get." The increase in cases in some states, Fauci said, was likely due to people who are "not really adhering to the structured type of guidelines that belong to the phase that they're in."
