White House coronavirus experts have in recent days sent regular warnings to cities and states not to relax measures too much before the virus is under sufficient control

White House health experts are warning of an uptick in the percentage of people testing positive for Covid-19 in US cities including Boston, Chicago and Washington, urging local leaders to maintain health safety measures to avoid a surge.

Dr Fauci was asked on CNN about comments made by his White House coronavirus task force colleague, Dr Deborah Birx, identifying new areas of concern in major cities, even as authorities see encouraging signs across the South. Even in cities and states where most people are doing things right, Dr Fauci said, a segment of people not wearing masks or following social distancing remains vulnerable to infection and can keep the virus transmitting in US communities.

President Donald Trump, in contrast, has played down the staying power of the virus, saying yesterday that "it will go away like things go away" as he urged schools to reopen on time for face-to-face lessons.
