Indian-American Seema Verma has been added as a “key member” of the Trump administration’s coronavirus task force, an official statement from US Vice President Mike Pence said.
Verma’s appointment comes at a time when over 100 coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the US, six US citizens have died and the global death toll has topped 3,000.
Verma marked attendance on Monday in her new role during an evening briefing led by Pence.
President Donald Trump has made Pence his point-person for the coronavirus response. Pence in turn has tapped Ambassador Deborah Birx as his point person.
