The top U.S. infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci, warned that the nation is moving in the “wrong direction” in combating a new wave of the pandemic as vaccinations slow, and said a booster shot may be needed especially for the most vulnerable.
Countries including Algeria, Thailand and Vietnam are imposing curfews in cities to battle a surge in cases, while protests against Covid measures took place in a number of cities globally.
In Germany, senior politicians have floated the possibility of tough restrictions for the unvaccinated, or even compulsory inoculation, amid similar sentiment throughout Europe as the delta variant spreads in the region. Meanwhile in the U.K., taxpayers will be paying an “eye-watering” price for the coronavirus for decades after the pandemic ends, according to a pair of reports released Sunday.

“New York State continues to review the new CDC guidance and daily data outcomes, communicate with education stakeholders across the state and will ultimately make our recommendations for the fall based on what is in the best interest of public health, particularly when it comes to children, DOH spokesperson Abigail Barker said in a statement.
