Prominent public health expert and White House coronavirus taskforce member Dr Anthony Fauci has said the US may not see a “second wave” of the coronavirus, The Guardian reports.
"When you start to see increases in hospitalisation, that’s a surefire situation that you’ve got to pay close attention to," Fauci said. "It is not inevitable that you will have a so-called ‘second wave’ in the fall, or even a massive increase if you approach it in the proper way."
Fauci encouraged people to continue to wear face masks and practise social distancing. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that around 80% of Americans self-isolated in the last month, and that 74% of Americans often or always wore face masks in public.
