Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on Monday that Connecticut is moving in the right direction with its coronavirus response.
“Connecticut is in a good place,” Fauci said. “You are in a situation that you now, in many respects, have the upper hand, because you have such a low rate that when you do get new cases, you have the capability of containment as opposed to mitigation.”
Fauci, the nation’s leading spokesperson on coronavirus, joined Gov. Ned Lamont on his Monday coronavirus press briefing. While applauding Connecticut’s progress, Fauci pointed to concerning trends in other parts of the country.
