'We got a serious problem in New York, we have a serious problem in New Orleans, and we're going to be developing serious problems in other areas.'
The White House's coronavirus task force will continue to discuss the issue as it considers what recommendations it will make in the coming week, he added.
More testing in particular is necessary to understanding the full scope of the outbreak, Fauci said. Some areas with few confirmed cases of the virus have had relatively few tests available, and it's likely the outbreak is much more widespread than is officially known. Before Americans can get back to their daily routines, Fauci said enough tests need to be in place to track how the virus is actually spreading. And testing needs to be conducted rapidly, so infected people aren't left in the dark for days about their status — potentially infecting others in the meantime.
"If we can do that, Jake, I think we could reasonably, with the safety of the American people in mind, pull back on some of the restrictions," Fauci told Tapper."But you got to have all the players and all the material in place. That's what we're trying to do."
