Further lockdowns are not needed to stem the climbing numbers of coronavirus cases because the majority of infections are coming from person-to-person gatherings, not from the schools and businesses that would be shuttered under mandatory shutdown orders, Department of Health and Human Services Director Alex Azar said Friday.
“All of our measures have to be guided by evidence in science, not just assumptions,” Azar told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo. “Data tells us that our universities, our K-12 schools have not proven to be major vectors of disease transmission.”
In addition, workplaces, businesses, and airlines have not been proven to be where the disease is overwhelmingly transmitted, he said.
