Just prior to the CDC’s release of guidance that fully vaccinated people should resume wearing masks in indoor public places in communities with high COVID rates, NewDEAL CEO Debbie Cox Bultan spoke about the Delta variant surge with Dr. Aditi Mallick, Director of the COVID-19 Response Command Center for North Carolina’s Department of Health and Human Services. They discussed the emerging variant, what to expect across the country in the coming months and how we can invest in our public health infrastructure to be more proactive in caring for our citizens.
