Associate Professor at Tulane University Dr. Susan Hassig spoke with anchor Arthel Neville Saturday about reducing the spread of coronavirus, saying masks and social distancing are key to preventing high levels of infection. "The pathogen will do what the pathogen will do if people don't listen to the best infectious disease expert we have in the country, Dr. [Anthony] Fauci. What we have available, physical distancing and masking, if implemented by the majority of members of any given community and the entire country, for that matter, will slow the spread of the virus," Hassig reminded viewers on "America's News HQ." "And it is a fact [that] a mask blocks the virus that's being shed by someone who is infected." The U.S. hit yet another all-time high Thursday in new daily coronavirus cases at 39,061, according to the COVID Tracking Project.
