The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to issue guidelines on what is considered safe for people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 over the “next two days,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday.
The White House chief medical officer said federal guidelines will be available “imminently” after officials delayed its publication last week.
“When you talk about benchmarks for vaccinated people and how a vaccinated person can interact with an unvaccinated person or with unvaccinated people, these guidelines leave the CDC imminently. I imagine, in the next two days, for sure, “Fauci told CBS anchor Margaret Brennan on” Face the Nation. “
As for when the whole country can resume normal life, Fauci said Americans “will have to spend some more time there.”
“One of the things I think we should point out, every day that passes, that we keep the lid on things will get better and better, because we’re putting at least two million vaccines in people’s arms every day,” Fauci said. to say.
“And as the days and weeks go by, you have more and more protection, not only from the people, but from the community. So we’re going in the right direction. “
