New President Joseph Biden will ask all Americans to wear a mask during the first 100 days of his presidency. “He just wants – and it’s a good idea – a uniform,” Fauci told the Today Show. “He’s saying, ‘Hey, guys, trust me. All for 100 days. ‘ Now, it may be that after that, we will still need it. But he just wants, everyone for a 100-day appointment. And I discussed it with him and told him that I thought it was a good idea. “

You must maintain social distance and wear masks even after vaccination. “Obviously, with a vaccine more than 90 percent effective, you can feel much more confident” that you will not receive COVID-19, Fauci told CNN. “But I would recommend people not to abandon all public health measures just because you were vaccinated … although, for the general population, it can be 90 to 95% effective,” said Fauci, “you don’t necessarily know, for you, how effective it is. “

“I would like to get as many open spaces as you can,” Fauci told the Washington Post. “If you look at the super spreader events that took place, I think it is wrong to call people super spreaders. The event is overdistributed. They are almost always inside super spreader events – in nursing homes, refrigerators, prisons, church choirs. , wedding congregations and other social events where people get together. It’s almost invariable. Nothing is 100%, but it’s almost invariable to be indoors. So when you’re indoors, make sure you wear a mask when you’re outdoors, keep your mask on. “

Touch your eyes, nose and mouth with dirty hands
-
Prepare or eat food and drinks with dirty hands
-
Touch a contaminated surface or objects
-
Blow your nose, cough or sneeze in your hands and touch other people’s hands or common objects. “
