The United States has 1,827,425 cases of the novel coronavirus and 106,202 related deaths, Redfield said in the testimony. "This is the greatest public health challenge we have faced in more than 100 years," he said. Redfield has been less visible in public than Anthony Fauci and the White House's coronavirus task force co-ordinator Deborah Birx. "I have states that are still collecting data on pen and pencil," the CDC director said. Redfield said that to date, WHO continues to be a close partner in public health efforts.
