President-elect Joe Biden has tapped two close allies to oversee his administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to two people familiar with the decision.
Transition co-chair and former Obama administration official Jeff Zients is set to serve as the White House's Covid-19 coordinator and Vivek Murthy, the former U.S. surgeon general under Obama, will return to that role, but with a broader portfolio that will include serving as the top medical expert and public face of the work. Marcella Nunez-Smith, a co-chair of Biden's Covid-19 advisory board, will also take a key role in the administration's response, focused on health disparities.
Biden's team plans to roll out these and other health care personnel announcements as soon as this weekend. The transition team declined to comment.
