- Adams appeared Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” two days after the US recorded its highest ever number of daily COVID-19 infections.

US Surgeon General Jerome Adams said Sunday that the US could turn around novel coronavirus infections in two to three weeks if “everyone does their part” by abiding with official prevention recommendations like social distancing and facial coverings.
Adams appeared Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” two days after the US recorded its highest ever number of daily COVID-19 infections, with more than 65,000 in a day. Adams said despite sharp rises in states across the country, if Americans follow guidelines en masse, the US could see near-immediate decreases in infections and fatalities.
“So just as we’ve seen cases skyrocket, we can turn this thing around in two to three weeks if we can get a critical mass of people wearing face coverings, practicing at least six feet of social distancing, doing the things that we know are effective,” Adams said.
