Biden warns COVID-19 cases 'could go back up' as variants emerge, despite vaccination progress
Fox News
President Biden warned Friday that the rise of COVID-19 variants could lead to a surge in cases in the coming weeks, even as his administration makes progress on its goal of administering 100 million vaccine doses in its first 100 days in office.
"It’s also true that while COVID-19 vaccinations are up, COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are down," Biden said. "But I need to be honest with you…Cases and hospitalizations could go back up as new variants emerge, and it’s not the time to relax. We have to keep washing our hands, stay socially distanced and for God’s sake, keep wearing a mask. It’s not a political statement. It’s the patriotic thing to do." Biden said medical workers have already administered more than 50 million vaccine shots across the country. He noted that his administration has earmarked $3.8 billion in funds to help states create vaccination centers and ramp up existing facilities. The president met with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Sen. John Cornyn, both Republicans, during his trip to the state.
