Washington Five individuals have been added to the White House coronavirus task force, the Office of the Vice President announced Friday, a little over a week after the Trump administration reversed course on the group's future, saying it would continue "indefinitely."
The new members include Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, Labor Secretary Gene Scalia, National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins, Food and Drug Administration Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Dr. Peter Marks and Administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration Thomas Engels. Some of the new task force members, such as Perdue, had been fairly regular participants in task force meetings despite not previously being official members.
