The White House Coronavirus Task Force member said social distancing will continue through the summer months, noting that many governors understand the process of reopening must be very gradual.
"Social distancing will be with us through the summer to really ensure that we protect one another as we move through these phases," Birx added, referencing Memorial Day as the unofficial start of summer.
Todd repeatedly questioned whether the relaxing of social distancing guidelines by several states this week may lead to the country"losing all the ground that we've gained over the last six weeks." Birx said she has spoken with state leaders and governors who are in agreement that the reopening of businesses and public venues must be a gradual process.
