Two governors of states fighting the deadly outbreak of the novel coronavirus each said that public officials have a responsibility to circulate accurate medical information about the pandemic and how to fight it.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is interviewed on"This Week."After emergency hotlines saw an increase in questions about consuming disinfectants to treat the novel-- based on the president's comments Thursday -- a bipartisan pair of governors each said Sunday that public officials have a responsibility to relay accurate medical information.
“This has been important to me from day one, communicating, very clearly on the facts, because people listen to these press conferences. They listen when the governor holds a press conference and they certainly pay attention when the president of the United States is standing there giving a press conference,” Gov. Larry Hogan said on “This Week,” appearing after Whitmer.
Both governors -- Whitmer, a Democrat, and Hogan, a Republican -- said that their state health services had seen an uptick in inquiries on whether ingesting disinfectant materials could treat coronavirus. “We had hundreds of calls come in to our emergency hotline at our health department asking if it was -- if it was right to ingest Clorox or, you know, alcohol cleaning products, whether that was going to help them fight the virus, so we had to put out that warning to make sure that people were not doing something like that which would kill people,” said Hogan.
