Zients, Murthy Will Head Up Biden’s Pandemic Response

“President-elect Joe Biden has tapped two close allies to oversee his administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic,” Politico reports.

“Transition co-chair and former Obama administration official Jeff Zients is set to serve as the White House’s Covid-19 coordinator and Vivek Murthy, the former U.S. surgeon general under Obama, will return to that role, but with a broader portfolio that will include serving as the top medical expert and public face of the work.”
