Americans may have to wear masks in 2022, even if the United States softens other restrictions imposed in the fight against COVID-19. This was stated today by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s leading epidemiologist, quoted by BTA.

The number of new infections is declining daily, but thousands of Americans still fall victim to the pathogen every day, and less than 15 percent of the U.S. population is vaccinated.
President Joe Biden is working to speed up the immunization campaign as local authorities try to secure more doses. Fauci, Biden’s top medical adviser, told CNN that the threshold of 500,000 deaths that the United States is approaching “is a terrible moment in the country’s history.”
Asked if he expects Americans to wear masks next year, the expert said he thought it was possible, but depended on the spread of the virus and the possible emergence of new options. In another interview, Fauci noted that it is still too early to determine when the United States could reach herd immunity.
