Lockdowns and limiting gatherings are no longer necessary to curtail the spread of COVID-19, according to the White House COVID-19 response coordinator.
Dr. Ashish Jha, who was recently appointed as the Biden administration COVID-19 response czar, told Fox News Sunday’s Mike Emanuel that infection rates remain low despite the onset of the BA.2 omicron subvariant. While Jha stressed that science is changing and that people should expect guidelines to shift, he noted the country has reached a point in the pandemic where “we can gather safely.
“I don’t think events like that need to be canceled,” Jha said, noting that safeguards such as testing, vaccination, and improved ventilation increase the safety of events. “Do I think it’s safe for people to gather together indoors? Absolutely, we can make those events much much safer now than what they were a year ago.
