Top Biden coronavirus adviser Andy Slavitt announces last day at White House

Source: NBC News

Andy Slavitt, the lead White House advisor on the country's Covid-19 response, announced that Wednesday would be his last day on the job.

"Today is my last briefing and tomorrow is my last day in the White House," Slavitt said at a coronavirus response briefing Tuesday. "It has been an honor to serve as part of the administration committed to working day and night until Americans are able to feel safe again from this pandemic."

Slavitt, who was the acting chief of Medicare and Medicaid during the Obama administration, was appointed to the temporary position in January, and had been expected to leave this month. Special government employee appointments are limited to 130 days on the job.

"You are a class act and we will miss you greatly," Dr. Anthony Fauci told him during the briefing.
