CDC director expects COVID-19 to become a ‘seasonal virus’
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said she anticipates COVID-19 will become a seasonal virus.
“I do anticipate that this is probably going to be a seasonal virus,” she told NBC News on Monday.
Walensky also told the network that Americans should anticipate they will need to wear face masks again and hope that they are not always necessary.
The agency moved to loosen mask restrictions for much of the U.S. at the end of last month.
“We may want to be more vigilant during some seasons,” she noted. “Maybe during respiratory season, if things ramped up, we would want to put on our masks again to protect both from flu and from COVID and from all other respiratory diseases.”- READ MORE
