White House to Wind Down Coronavirus Task Force

No reasons given why, in the height of the virus, the group is disbanding

President Donald Trump's coronavirus (COVID-19) task force is in the early stages of winding down, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The meetings in the Situation Room of the White House have been shorter, and the task force no longer meets every day, according to the two people. Drs. Deborah Birx and Anthony Fauci are still expected to be at the White House daily, but other members of the task force may be present less frequently. However, two separate sources familiar with the matter noted that the task force met Tuesday.

The news was first reported by The New York Times.
