As cases in many Asian and European nations are on the rise, health experts say the BA.2 Omicron subvariant now accounts for 25% to 30% of new cases in the U.S. This is top White House adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Dr. Anthony Fauci: “We likely will see an uptick in cases as we’ve seen in the European countries, particularly the U.K., where they’ve had the same situation as we’ve had now. They have the BA.2, they have a relaxation of some of the restrictions such as indoor masking, and there’s a waning of immunity. Hopefully we won’t see a surge. I don’t think we will.”
