Dr Fauci says face masks may become more common during cold and flu seasons in the US

White House’s Chief Medical Advisor Dr Anthony Fauci says the US might see face masks becoming more common during cold and flu season.

The infectious diseases expert said the US has practically had a “non-existent flu season this year.” He believes this is because people were following public health orders to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Biden is also urging all eligible Americans to get vaccinated against covid-19.

This comes less than a month after the Biden Administration relaxed public health orders.
