Dr. Fauci told CNN that the peak is lower than earlier this year, yet there were more than 61,000 new COVID-19 cases on April 7.
Dr. Fauci told CNN that the lack of significant decreases in infections is a concern, given the spread of variants. To fight the variants, he urged Americans to get the vaccine and adhere to preventive measures.
He said Europe is experiencing a surge and that experts worry the U.S. will shortly follow.
“It’s almost a race between getting people vaccinated and this surge that seems to want to increase,” Dr. Fauci said.
