The chief infectious disease expert in the United States Anthony Fauci today warned of a larger outbreak of the Corona virus in the United States.
AFP quoted Fauci as saying, "I share with some his concern that the matter may get worse in the coming weeks," pointing out that the country may face a sudden increase in the number of injuries in a way that pushes it to a "critical stage" with the increase in the frequency of travel during holidays.
In turn, the chief American surgeon Jerome Adams expressed his deep concern about the increase in HIV infections after the Christmas and New Year holidays.
Tourist travel in the United States this year decreased dramatically in the holiday season but remained significant.
The average number of air passengers exceeded more than a million a day for six consecutive days last week, according to the Transportation Security Agency.
After the Thanksgiving holiday last month, Coronavirus infections in the United States rose sharply, with more than 200,000 new infections and sometimes more than 3,000 deaths per day.
The United States is still the country most affected by the virus in terms of the number of infections and deaths, with 339,705 deaths out of 19,382,507 infections.
