Example Sentence: The next few weeks are critical to tamping down (reduce) a disturbing COVID-19 surge, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told the U.S. Congress on Tuesday — issuing a plea for people to avoid crowds and wear masks.

But that has “to be a gradual step-by-step process and not throwing caution to the wind”, he said.
