Fauci says he does not anticipate major COVID-19 surge in US
Fox News
Top U.S. infectious disease official Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Tuesday he would not be surprised to see an increase in COVID-19 cases in the United States, but he does not expect a major surge.
"I would not be surprised at all, if we do see somewhat of an uptick," Fauci told a Washington Post event. "I don't really see, unless something changes dramatically, that there would be a major surge."
Fauci said the expected rise in coronavirus cases would be due to the increasing dominance of the highly transmissible BA.2 omicron sub-variant, the relaxation of mask-wearing requirements and waning immunity in the population.
