, the U.S.'s top infectious diseases expert, has warned that there could be another COVID surge on the way as many as 15 states face rising case numbers.

The national daily case tally has fallen by nearly a third over the last month and, as of Saturday, more than 118 million vaccine doses had been administered,But health experts are worried there could be a resurgence if health measures like mask use are relaxed too soon. Dr. Fauci, the director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said he was concerned that the flattening of cases was making Americans complacent, and that it could presage a rise in case numbers.

"If you look at the dynamics of the outbreak, we had that big surge in the winter, the midwinter, the late winter then it started coming down really nicely," he told"That is not a good thing, because what has happened in the past...that when you have that plateauing—that's usually the forerunner of another surge."

Dr. Fauci: “... when you have that plateauing, that’s usually the forerunner of another surge. We’ve actually seen that in the EU. ... They went up like us, came back down, plateaued and pulled back on masking. Right now, they’re going through the beginning of a surge.”
