Levine has noted that although her position as Secretary of Health is great for trans visibility, she sees her gender identity as having nothing to do with her success leading the virus response:
Pennsylvania was one of a few states to be hit head-on by COVID-19 early on here in the United States. So far, the state has seen nearly 30,000 confirmed cases and over 700 deaths. While these numbers are still staggeringly high, Pennsylvania has not seen nearly as many cases and deaths as other Northeastern states that were hit especially hard due to their proximity to New York, the U.S. epicenter of the pandemic: for example, New Jersey has unfortunately logged over 3,000 deaths.
ADVERTISEMENT “My day is busy,” Levine told The Advocate of her role in leading the response. “I get here at 7 and prepare for my day. Our meeting starts at 8, where first I talk with my team for an hour and then I go and speak with the senior staff of the governor's office. And then the senior staff and I and the FEMA director have a meeting and then it goes from there.
In an interview with CBS Philly, Dr. Levine stated that she wanted to ensure testing availability for anybody who wanted it. As we have learned, testing is absolutely crucial in tackling the spread of this virus. “Through the mitigation efforts, we're hoping to take off the peak of that surge so that our hospitals and health systems can manage it,” Levine told The Advocate.
When people began to point fingers about who to blame for the spread of Coronavirus—although there is no community to blame—extremist religious groups were quick to judge the LGBTQ+ community. Levine noted that Coronavirus is not a religious issue, but first and foremost a public health issue.
