WATCH: Dr. Fauci Says Americans May Still Need to Wear Masks in 2022

While interviewing with Dana Bash on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Fauci indicated that Americans may still need to wear masks in 2022.

CNN anchor Dana Bash asked, “You and the president have suggested that we’ll approach normality towards the end of the year. What does normal mean? Do you think Americans will still be wearing masks, for example, in 2022?”

Fauci replied saying, “You know, I think that’s possible that’s the case. It depends on what you mean by normality.

Bash then pressed Fauci stating, “Right. That’s why I want you to define it.”
