Americans may still need to wear face masks in 2022, even as the country relaxes other restrictions to combat Covid-19, the nation's top infectious disease expert has said

Americans may still need to wear face masks in 2022, even as the country relaxes other restrictions to combat Covid-19, the nation's top infectious disease expert has said.

US President Joe Biden is trying to accelerate the campaign to vaccinate most American adults as local governments clamour for more doses to prevent the highly contagious illness that has claimed nearly 500,000 lives in the United States. Asked if Americans should expect to still be wearing masks into next year, Dr Fauci said: "I think it is possible that that's the case.""Obviously, I think we are going to have a significant degree of normality beyond the terrible burden that all of us have been through over the last year," Dr Fauci said.

He told "Fox News Sunday" that whether people in the United States will later need a booster shot depends on the path the variant discovered in South Africa takes.
