A health expert who is advising Joe Biden’s administration has warned that the spread of COVID-19 caused by the mutant virus will reappear in the United States around mid-March, CNN reported on the 25th (local time).

According to CNN, Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota in the United States, said, “In a few weeks, we expect a surge in corona infections caused by a mutant coronavirus from the UK, which has a strong spread.” Osterholm, who is also a member of the Biden administration’s corona advisory group, has warned strongly of the re-proliferation of corona caused by a mutant virus in the United States in the past.

He continued, “B.1.1.7 in the United States, that is, the variation from the UK is doubling every ten days,” and predicted that the re-proliferation will begin in earnest in the third week of March.

According to the New York Times (NYT), Director Osterholm issued a report at the Center for Infectious Disease Research Policy on the 23rd and proposed a policy to delay the second dose in order to provide the vaccine to as many people as possible before the outbreak. It explains that the goal should be to inoculate at least once to even more people.

“We are worried that millions of elderly people 65 years or older will not get the corona vaccine at least once by the end of March,” said Osterholm. “We have convincing data that the remarkable effect appears even after the first vaccination of elderly people. This mutation. “We have to get started quickly because we don’t wait for us.”
