Covid-19 numbers are improving. Don’t let history repeat itself with yet another resurgence, doctors say

CNN — As Covid-19 numbers gradually improve, health experts have an urgent message: Don’t get cocky and relax. “The best way to assure that we’ll be in good shape as we get into the winter would be to get more and more people vaccinated,” Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN Monday. “Look at the pediatric hospitals throughout the country, and you can ask any pediatric hospitalist, they’re seeing a lot of children in the hospital with severe infection,” Fauci told CNN on Monday. “We still have to try to get more people vaccinated.” Vaccination is still the best way to reduce the risk of infection, hospitalization and death from Covid-19, Fauci said. Don’t get infected in the first place.” As for those assuming previous infection will keep them immune from Covid-19, a study published Friday in the journal The Lancet Microbe suggests protection may be short-lived.
