"And the way to minimize that is to have each individual to recognize it is an advantage of them to protect their loved ones, to [say] 'hey, I was out, I need to go get tested.
"We will continue to message as well we can," he said. "We're going to encourage people that have the ability to require to wear masks when they are in their environment to continue to do that." Redfield told lawmakers the U.S. is likely to have a "difficult time" during the fall and winter seasons as the coronavirus and flu circulate at the same time.about the colder seasons, saying, "we're going to have to distinguish between which is flu and which is the coronavirus."
