CDC Director Calls WHO a ‘Great Partner’

CDC director Robert Redfield told CBS News that his agency will continue to work with the World Health Organization to combat the global spread of the coronavirus — even after President Trump announced he was halting U.S. funding for the organization amid the pandemic.

Said Redfield: “You know, I’m just going to say the WHO has been a longstanding partner for CDC. We’ve worked together to fight health crises all around the world. We continue to do that.”

He added: “WHO has been a long-term and still is a great partner for us. We’re going to continue to do all we can together to try to limit this.”
