A Senate committee is examining the COVID-19 pandemic's beginnings. Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key figure in the US response, will testify.

He has worked under two presidents and led a national institute for many years. Fauci's appearance before Congress is significant, as it has been over two years since he last testified. The committee, led by a senator from Kentucky, is investigating pandemic origins.

Further information on the hearing and Fauci's role is available from KXXV News, including details on his past positions and a related story about his government employment.
