Description
Dr. Ebony J. Hilton, practicing physician and an associate professor at the University of Virginia-Charlottesville, discusses the crucial moment faced by the US in the COVID pandemic.

This marks the start of a critical period that will determine how quickly cities and communities can fully reopen.
