Trump administration rolls out new coronavirus push, names HHS testing czar
politico.com

The administration also tapped a new “czar” housed at the Department of Health and Human Services, putting Adm. Brett Giroir in charge of coordinating testing efforts among public health service agencies.

Giroir, a medical doctor, is the assistant secretary for health and head of the Public Health Service within HHS and briefly served as acting chief of the FDA last year.

HHS Secretary Alex Azar has specifically tasked Giroir with improving coordination between the CDC and the FDA, “as well as state and local public health authorities and private or public clinical laboratories,” according to an HHS official.

“A key priority is to ensure that patients, doctors, and hospitals can access tests seamlessly and with maximum ease, and Dr. Giroir will lead efforts to execute on that goal,” Azar said in a statement.

Under the new arrangement, CDC Director Robert Redfield and Commissioner of Food and Drugs Stephen Hahn “will report to the secretary through Dr. Giroir for all issues and activities associated with COVID-19 diagnostic testing,” the HHS official said.
