U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) questions Admiral Brett Giroir, MD, the Assistant Secretary for Health at the United States Department of Health and Human Services, on if we are doing enough in rural and remote areas from becoming hotspots for COVID-19. Senator Murkowski asked this question in a Senate HELP Committee hearing focused on how HHS agencies are working to help states and communities prepare to reopen by supporting testing; speeding the research, development, and manufacturing of new tests, treatments, and vaccines; and providing public health guidance and other support to states.
