ANTHONY FAUCI/CORONAVIRUS: “One of the concerns that all of us, the health officials, scientists, and physicians are concerned about, is that when you have crowds of people together and you have the lack of wearing of masks, that increases the risk of there being transmissibility [of coronavirus]. There’s no doubt about that.
Which is the reason why the common denominator of many the guidelines for mitigation are physical distancing, as well as wearing of a mask. And when we see that not happening, there is a concern that that may actually propagate the further spread of infection.”
