Fauci Says Covid-19 Outbreak in Northeast U.S. Could Be Prevented

According to Dr. Anthony Fauci, people in the Northeast could prevent a Covid-19 surge like the one currently being seen in the south by following several easy guidelines. Fauci recommends utilizing mitigation measures like wearing masks indoors and in schools and increasing vaccination rates. The idea of vaccine mandates for schools and businesses has sparked debate throughout the country but more places are putting them in place.

According to Dr.  Rochelle Walensky with the CDC, evidence shows that vaccine mandates do get more people vaccinated and the more vaccinated people there are in the community the more protected the community is. While he was getting his booster shot yesterday, President Biden urged the importance of getting vaccinated and said “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. That’s why I’m moving forward with vaccination requirements wherever I can.”
