The chief US infectious disease specialist predicted the deterioration of the situation with COVID-19 in the near future

ABC: US ​​Chief Infectious Disease Officer Fauci predicted that COVID-19 would worsen in the winter months

in winter, the situation with the spread of coronavirus in the United States may worsen. He told about this in an interview with ABC TV channel.

According to Fauci, the number of people infected will grow due to the increased activity of the delta strain. In addition, a weakened immune system will affect the rate of spread of infection. The most vulnerable, Fauci warned, will be citizens who have not been vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Of particular concern, according to the infectious disease specialist, are the upcoming holidays – Thanksgiving and Christmas, when Americans from all over the country will begin to travel to other states and meet with relatives.

Earlier, psychiatrist of the highest category Viktor Khanykov said that the COVID-19 vaccine could help reduce anxiety due to the danger of getting sick. The physician noted that the coronavirus can cause increased anxiety in impressionable citizens. Vaccinations not only protect against infection, but also help reduce stress, he said.
