MIAMI – The imminent arrival of Hurricane Isaiah is forcing the closure of some coronavirus testing sites on Friday, even as the state reached a new daily death record.
Meanwhile, the virus was complicating efforts to put contingency plans in place for evacuations and shelters if the storm makes them necessary. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued Friday an order declaring a state of emergency in eastern coastal counties from the Florida Keys to Jacksonville, but no evacuations had been ordered or shelters opened.
The looming weather forced officials to stop control in Miami, which has been most affected by coronavirus, for at least 3 days, as many sites operate outdoors in tents. In general circumstances, sites have the ability to check many other people a day.
“We had to put security first,” Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Giménez said at an online news convention Friday. “We will have thousands of tests that will be carried out until we are operational again.
Social estrangement measures needed to prevent the spread of the virus confuse evacuation plans. Shelters will now need to provide 40 square feet (3.7 square meters) of area for each user and cannot offer cafeteria-style meals.

WASHINGTON – Dr. Anthony Fauci rejected a tweet from Donald Trump stating that America’s global head in coronavirus cases due to higher evidence.
In response to questions from a House Democrat, Fauci said the scale of the epidemic in the United States is the result of several factors, some of which opened too quickly, challenging federal guidelines. These recommendations called for a step-by-step technique to ease restrictions on restaurants, bars, and gyms based on the number of instances in the states.
Trump tweeted when a House oversight committee listened to the country’s most sensitive fitness officials about the federal reaction to coronavirus. Rep. James Clyburn, a Democrat for South Carolina, chaired the committee hearing.

WASHINGTON – U.S. government’s most sensible control officer He said it was not imaginable to return all effects of coronavirus control to patients within 3 days due to overwhelming demand.
Admiral Brett Giroir told a congressional panel that the United States deserves, however, to succeed in that time frame. Many fitness experts say that the effects of coronavirus are not useful when delivered after two or 3 days because the touch search window has been closed.

Rapid and widespread testing is essential to involve the coronavirus outbreak, but the U.S. effort. It has been undermined by shortages of sources and delays.
