US physician and immunologist Anthony Fauci says Covid-19 cases may increase for travel and festivals.
He also added Covid-19 infections may be expected to increase in the United States in the next few weeks and after thanksgiving day.
Anthony Fauci has warned the public that travel must be controlled during the holiday season and called on all to strictly follow all Covid-19 instructions for infection cases control.
In an interview with ABC TV on November 29, Anthony Fauci said, “It’s not my intention to intimidate people. But that is the reality. ‘
Fauci says the infection will increase as the winter progresses. Travel and festivals increase the risk of infection.
Millions of people have traveled to the United States despite strict instructions on the occasion of ‘Thanksgiving’.
In addition to traveling by air from one end of the country to the other, there was extensive road travel throughout the week.
According to the Department of Transportation Safety, more than a million people flew in and out of US airports in a single day last Saturday.
On Sunday, the highest passenger of the season is scheduled to travel through the airport.
Dr. Fauci said the importance of family conventions and travel is understandable, as well as the consequences. Calling for more caution, Fauci said the vaccine was coming. All infection control guidelines must be followed until the vaccine is given.
More than 13 million people in the United States are now infected with Covid-19. Infections are increasing by more than 1 million a week. So far, more than 265,000 people have died from the coronavirus in the United States.
As of Saturday, the number of hospital admissions in 46 US states was rising. A record number of people have been infected in 13 states including the capital Washington DC, and Puerto Rico.
More people than ever before have been admitted to 25 state hospitals with coronaries infractions. The death toll in 12 states has also surpassed previous records.
According to US media reports, the government is all set to deliver the first batch of vaccines to all parts of the country in the last week of December.
The structure has been prepared for vaccination at the state level. The first round of vaccinations will be given to the front row workers and the work of vaccinating the elderly will be started soon.
