Vice President Mike Pence said new outbreaks of the coronavirus may be arising because younger Americans aren’t abiding by federal guidance
Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday said new outbreaks of the coronavirus may be arising because younger Americans aren’t abiding by federal guidance on how to prevent spread.
“One of the things that we’ve heard in Texas and Florida in particular is that nearly half of those who are testing positive are Americans under the age of 35,” Pence said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.
Pence said people “should wear masks whenever social distancing is not possible” and “wherever it is indicated by state or local authorities.” “We’re monitoring very closely new cases in Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California,” Pence said, adding that he would be traveling to multiple states in the next several days to get an idea of conditions on the ground.CORONAVIRUS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
