Warning Against Complacency as COVID-19 Cases Begin to Plateau

As reported by CBS News (02/28/21), “Dr. Anthony Fauci, warned that Americans shouldn't get complacent about following mitigation measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus, as the number of new cases is leveling off despite more Americans receiving vaccines. While there has been a drop in the number of new coronavirus cases and hospitalizations since early January, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), warned Friday that the declines could be stalling at a high number, which she said was a ‘very concerning shift in the trajectory.’ As of Friday, the seven-day average is just under 73,000 new infections, according to the CDC.”
