Dr. Anthony Fauci on holiday gatherings: 'If you get vaccinated and your family's vaccinated, you can feel good about enjoying a typical Thanksgiving, Christmas with your family and close friends.'
Fauci warned that cases are still high, so people should wear masks when they're out and about in the community and around groups of people in indoor settings.
But since late October, the U.S. has increased to 78,500 new cases a day, up by about 23% in the last two and a half weeks, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Department of Human Health Services show. The increase has put a shroud of stress around holiday travel and planning.
"Every household is going to have a different way of assessing their own risk and managing their own risk. But I think at this point in the pandemic, we have to recognize that there is no clear cut one size fits all answer, that we're all going to be making decisions that are best for ourselves," Wen said.
"We need to balance [more tools] against the fact that we know the virus likes when people come together, especially from all across the country. We know the virus likes cold weather, which forces individuals next door indoors. We know that cases are leveling off and or increasing in certain parts of the country,” Adams said during Monday’s event.
Twenty-one states -- many of them with colder temperatures -- have seen an uptick in daily cases of 10% or more in the last two weeks.
