WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday that states reopening their economies "can't just leap over things" that would potentially allow the coronavirus to rebound.

In an interview on NBC's "TODAY" show, Savannah Guthrie asked Fauci whether the states that are beginning to reopen have the capability to do contact tracing and Fauci responded that while he can't go through a list of each of them, he urged those that don't have that capability to "go very slowly."

"You can't just leap over things and get into a situation where you're really tempting a rebound," he said. "That's the thing I get concerned about. I hope they don't do that."

Fauci said states should follow federal guidelines and only begin to reopen if they have a two-week decline in the number of new COVID-19 cases. He cautioned that states must have the capability of identifying, isolating and contact tracing people who test positive because "there will be blips — there’s no doubt."
