The new coronavirus is likely spreading through the air to some degree, the top U.S. infectious disease official said today (July 10, 2020), one day after the World Health Organization (WHO) urged further studies on the ways the virus is transmitted, according to the Reuters website.
"Still some question about aerosol but likely some degree of aerosol," Anthony Fauci, the head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during a panel session of a COVID-19 conference.
The number of cases in the U.S. has surged to more than 3 million, as states that quickly reopened bars and restaurants have reported sharp increases.
Fauci said that to battle the global virus, there needed to be multiple vaccine candidates. Vaccine makers are aiming to have hundreds of millions of doses ready for early next year, and as many as one billion in some cases, he said.
