But that asks the following question: whenwillIt will be careful to come back to a semblance of normality? In an interview March 4, 4 on CNNThe head withJake Tapper,Fauci gave a clear timetable As for exactly when it will beSafety deposit box for COVID restrictions to be deleted. And so that we can get there, we need to get COVID cases to a specific number. Read to find out what it is, and for more new vaccines, checkThe CDC just warned 3 new side effects of vaccine.
Fauci said we can loosen restrictions at about 10,000 new COVID cases a day.
Fauci wants to ensure the American public that it will not be forever. "Wewill Remove yourself, "he said on the subject of relaxing restrictions." We are now up to about 2 million vaccinations a day. It means every day, every week that passes, you have to More and more people protected. "
At present, it is the plateau of the new cases that has faluched concerned: the average of seven days for the new daily cases of COVID-19 to 5 Marchabout 61.169.
Tapper asked Fauci, "When would you like to reopen businesses at full capacity? When would it be the right moment to eliminate masks?" The doctor's response suggested remaining vigilant for a moment. "Well, I would not want to see a light switch go and go with respect to restrictions, Jake. I would like to see, because we get the level of virus in the community at a very low level, well, well, well, well, well below the 60,000 to 70,000 new cases of infection, somewhere, I'm just going to take a number, even if there is not a good model still there, but I would say less than 10,000, and can -be even less than that. "
The number has not fallen below 50,000 daily cases since the mid-October and is greater than 10,000 new cases a day since mid-March 2020. And for more than the numbers are increasing for the moment , checkCovid numbers are now again on these 10 states.

And Fuci said that the Southern African variant and variant and the Brazilian variant, are one of the reasons it is worried about our current trajectory.
"The other thing that bothers me and who worries me somewhat, Jake, is that we have variations flowing in the community. Some of them have an increased ability to transmit and some are less protected by the vaccines, which means you want a person getting vaccinated to get this level of antibody high enough, so you can have a cushion against the variant, if you are infected by the variant, "he said Tapped. "So, there are so many reasons why you do not want to withdraw earlier now. You want a plan that you will be able within a reasonable time to remove, but not at a time when we have variants in circulation and when you have what looks like a tray of the decline of cases daily. "And for more where the variants spread the fastest, checkThese 2 states are the biggest hotspots for the new Covid strain.

Will we enter a period now where more people are infected because of the U.K variant."
In response, Fauci said, "I believe, if you come back to public health measures, it could become likely. And that's one of the reasons I keep saying it's not the time to withdraw. Some of the encouraging news, that it looks like vaccines that are currently being distributed now, two million people or more per day, work really well against 1.1.7. The British isolate, as we call it, which means further incentive for people, when their turn comes up, so please be vaccinated. "
Fauci repeated that there were two things that Americans can do two things to do to "pursue a downward trend" in COVID cases: "One, respecting the public health measures I mentioned and that Other people have, and two, are vaccinated when your time is present. "
