Fauci predicts mask recommendations could come back if US sees 'significant uptick' in COVID-19 cases
Fox News
Dr. Anthony Fauci said that while he does not foresee a federal mask mandate in the future, recommendations are likely if COVID-19 cases rise this winter.
"I can see that if we get a significant uptick in cases that you may see the recommendation that masks be used under certain circumstances in indoor crowded settings," Fauci said, adding that he does not foresee any federal mandates.
"I would be extremely surprised if we would see that," he said, referring to a mandate. "There may be local organizations that may require masks, but I think what we're going to see mostly are, if the cases go up, that there might be recommendations, not mandates. There's a big difference there."
