Birx说，目前的大流行阶段“不同于3月和4月。”
“它非常普遍...这既是农村也是城市。”
她建议说:“更重要的是，如果你是多代同堂的家庭，而且在你的农村地区或城市里爆发了疫情，你需要真正考虑在家里戴上口罩，假设你是阳性的，如果你的家庭中有人患有共病。”

凌晨1点14分:红雀队推迟了比赛，因为更多的COVID-19测试呈阳性
圣路易斯红雀队和密尔沃基酿酒人队之间的周末系列赛被推迟，因为一名球员和多名红雀队成员的COVID-19测试呈阳性。
据ESPN称，三名工作人员在快速测试中对COVID-19呈阳性。MLB说，研究小组预计周六晚些时候唾液检测会有完整的结果。
除了周六的比赛之外，周日两队的两场比赛也被推迟了。
美国职棒大联盟在一份声明中说:“由于对圣路易斯红雀队的球员和工作人员进行了额外的测试和监控，周日在米勒公园举行的主场对阵密尔沃基酿酒人队和红雀队的比赛被推迟了。”从周二到周四，红雀队将在底特律与老虎队打四场比赛，包括周三的两场比赛。红雀队和老虎队将作为主场俱乐部在哥斯达黎加公园各进行两场比赛。布鲁尔一家将如期参加本周主场对芝加哥白袜队的系列赛。美国职棒大联盟将继续提供有关其时间表的更新。”

知情人士告诉ESPN，MLB专员罗布·曼弗雷德周五告诉MLB球员协会执行理事托尼·克拉克，如果这项运动不能更好地控制冠状病毒，它可能会在本赛季停赛。
圣路易红雀队球员上周五的两项阳性测试，只是加剧了业内对冠状病毒存在的担忧，以及球员是否遵守了MLB的规定，以防止类似迈阿密的疫情爆发。
如果再次爆发，曼弗雷德，谁有权力关闭季节，可能会朝着这个方向。接到电话的多名球员担心，如果测试结果呈阳性，或者球员继续不严格遵守联盟的协议，赛季可能会在周一被关闭。

Dr. Deborah Birx, the coronavirus response coordinator for the White House task force, told CNN Sunday that anyone on vacation in a hot spot should "assume you're infected."
Despite discussions on staying home and promoting social distancing, Birx told CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday: "I traveled around the country. I saw all of America moving."
"I think it's our job, as public health officials, to be able to get a message to each American that says if you have chosen to go on vacation into a hot spot, you really need to come back and protect those with comorbidities and assume you're infected," Birx said.
Birx said the current stage of the pandemic "is different from March and April."
"It is extraordinarily widespread ...it's both rural and urban," Birx said.
"More importantly, if you're in multigenerational households, and there's an outbreak in your rural area or in your city, you need to really consider wearing a mask at home, assuming that you're positive, if you have individuals in your households with comorbidities," she advised.

1:14 a.m.: Cardinals games postponed following more positive COVID-19 tests
The weekend series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers has been postponed after one player and multiple members of the Cardinals staff tested positive for COVID-19.
According to ESPN, three staff members tested positive for COVID-19 on the rapid tests. The team expects the complete results of saliva testing later Saturday, MLB said.
In addition to Saturday's game, both games of Sunday's doubleheader between the teams have also been postponed.
"Due to additional testing and monitoring of the St. Louis Cardinals’ players and staff members, the Sunday doubleheader between the host Milwaukee Brewers and the Cardinals at Miller Park has been postponed," said Major League Baseball in a statement. The Cardinals will play four games against the Tigers in Detroit from Tuesday-Thursday, including a Wednesday doubleheader. The Cardinals and Tigers will serve as the home Club for two games each at Comerica Park. The Brewers will play this week’s home-and-home series vs. the Chicago White Sox as scheduled. Major League Baseball will continue to provide updates regarding its schedule."
Just last week multiple members of the Miami Marlins tested positive for the coronavirus causing games to be postponed.as coronavirus testing is underway, the league confirmed in a statement.
The Miami Marlins canceled their home opener against the Baltimore Orioles scheduled for last Monday after multiple members of the team tested positive for the coronavirus,
Since the Philadelphia Phillies played Miami one week ago at Citizens Bank Park, the Marlins have now had 20 positive tests, including 18 players.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred told MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark on Friday that if the sport doesn't do a better job of managing the coronavirus, it could shut down for the season, sources familiar with the conversation told ESPN.
The two positive tests by the St. Louis Cardinals players on Friday have only exacerbated concerns inside the sport about the presence of the coronavirus and whether players are following MLB's protocols are being followed properly to prevent outbreaks similar to Miami's.
Should another outbreak materialize, Manfred, who has the power to shut the season down, could move in that direction. Multiple players briefed on the call fear that season could be shut down as soon as Monday if positive tests jump or if players continue not to strictly abide by the league's protocols.
