Anthony Fauci is the head of the infectious disease unit at the National Institutes of Health.
He says vulnerable people are most at risk and they should receive more protection.
"I think right now something that's important that I hope the American people appreciate is that the risk of getting into trouble with this infection, namely if you are infected, is overwhelmingly weighted towards people with underlying conditions and the elderly. And that's the reason why if you are an elderly person with an underlying condition, if you get infected, the risk of getting into trouble is considerable.
