美国当选总统拜登12月7日宣布了医卫团队拟任名单，拟提名加州司法部长泽维尔·贝塞拉出任美国卫生与公众服务部长。如果提名获参议院批准，贝塞拉将成为首位担任卫生与公众服务部长的拉丁裔美国人。

If confirmed, Becerra, a former US congressman from California, will be the first Latino to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

贝塞拉在担任加州司法部长前，曾担任国会议员。

Anthony Fauci, a preeminent US expert on infectious diseases and an adviser to six US presidents, will serve as chief medical adviser on COVID-19 to Biden and continue in his role as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

安东尼·福奇将担任拜登的应对新冠疫情首席医疗顾问，并继续兼任美国国家过敏症和传染病研究所所长。福奇是美国著名传染病专家，已为6位总统提供公共卫生政策咨询。

Meanwhile, Biden said he has tapped Vivek Murthy to serve as US surgeon general, a post the research scientist held between 2014 and 2017, and picked Rochelle Walensky, chief of infectious diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

另外，拜登还提名研究科学家维瓦克·默希出任美国公共卫生局局长，他曾于2014年至2017年担任该职务。麻省总医院传染病学主任、哈佛医学院医学教授罗谢尔·瓦伦斯基获提名出任美国疾病控制和预防中心主任。
