WASHINGTON, May 9 — The United States is turning the corner on the coronavirus pandemic and US health officials are now focused on getting more Americans vaccinated, the White House Covid-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients said today.

“I would say we are turning the corner,” Zients said in an interview with CNN’s State of the Union. The task now is to continue building confidence in vaccines and get enough Americans vaccinated to mitigate the spread of the virus and its variants, he said. — Reuters
