Rochelle Walensky said the guide to wearing a new mask, coupled with a higher level of vaccination against Covid-19, can stop the escalation of the infection today in “a few weeks.” The Director of the Center for Control and Prevention of the disease said to “CBS this morning”, he hoped the guide to wearing a more stringent mask and other steps would not be needed as a country that fell into the fall.
“We can stop the transmission chain,” he said.
“We can do something if we bring together together, if we make people vaccinated who have not been vaccinated, if we cover it while, we can stop this in just a few weeks.” With a Delta variant triggering a wave of infection throughout the country, the CDC on Tuesday recommends even vaccinated people to wear masks in the area where the usual variant.
Walensky said the new guide was asked by data that could vaccinate people can continue the virus.
However, a large number of infections occur in people who are not vaccinated, he said.
Walensky said 80% of the district with the highest number of infections had less than 40% of people vaccinated.
This nation averages more than 57,000 cases of a day and 24,000 inpatient care covid-19.
Guidance on masks in indoor public places is valid in several parts of the US with at least 50 new cases per 100,000 people in the last week.
