Chief US infectious disease specialist Anthony Fauchi said that the situation with the coronavirus pandemic in country in the coming months may deteriorate after the holidays, according to Mediaite.
“We may well be able to observe the post-holiday surge of infection or, as I described earlier, one outbreak after another,” – said the doctor. According to him, one of the reasons for the projected deterioration of the epidemiological situation is the desire of US citizens to travel during the New Year holidays.
Earlier, Fauci said that discrepancies in the actions of individual states and the lack of a single approach to the fight against coronavirus have become the reason that the United States is more affected by the pandemic than other countries. He stressed that the pandemic knows no boundaries between states, and therefore, to combat it, a certain consistency in the measures taken was required. However, he said, the United States faced significant differences in the actions of individual states and a lack of a coordinated approach to containing the spread of the virus.
