Dr. Oxiris Barbot resigned as New York City's health commissioner today, stating Mayor Bill de Blasio's complete failure in handling the coronavirus pandemic as the reason for her departure. This according to Fox News.
De Blasio appointed Dr. Dave A. Choksi as Barbot's replacement after receiving her resignation letter.
Barbot said that she was disappointed to leave her post "during the most critical public health crisis in our lifetime," but "that the Health Department's incomparable disease control expertise was not used to the degree it could have been."
She noted that New York City has "world renowned" experts in the fields of "epidemiology, surveillance and response work." These experts, she noted, have been relegated to the background of the crisis.
