The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is expanding efforts to count and control for the coronavirus, as well as prepare for a potential pandemic, according to an article on The Hill website.
Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases said the CDC’s priority remains “slowing the introduction of the virus into the U.S."
"This buys us more time to prepare communities for more cases and possibly sustained spread.” she said.
The CDC is working with state hospitals, healthcare facilities, pharmacies and emergency medical equipment suppliers to keep communities across the U.S. ready for new cases.
