Dr. Robert Redfield, director at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the document posted and subsequently removed that explained how Covid-19 spreads was “not technically reviewed” before it was posted.

During the Senate Health Committee hearing on Wednesday, Redfield told Sen. Tim Kaine the difference between the two documents was about “the balance of the component that aerosolized transmission plays compared to droplet transmission.”

Redfield replied, “absolutely they can.”
