In a statement issued Tuesday, Caitlin Oakley, an HHS Spokesperson, said "Dr. Bright was transferred to NIH to work on diagnostics testing – critical to combatting COVID-19 – where he has been entrusted to spend upwards of $1 billion to advance that effort." Oakley added that the agency was "deeply disappointed that he has not shown up to work on behalf of the American people and lead on this critical endeavor.” A spokesman for Bright said there was a reason he had not shown up to work: he's been suffering from "hypertension caused by this current situation" and been advised by his doctor to take sick leave.
