Dr. Fauci appeared on several Sunday morning shows to offer advice on how Americans can safely navigate traveling during the holiday season and beyond
On “Meet the Press,” Chuck Todd asked Dr. Fauci if Americans should be rethinking their holiday travel plans.
“I think people just need to be prudent. Clearly, when you travel, there is always a risk of increase infection that just goes with respiratory illnesses,” Fauci answered. “But if people need to travel and want to travel for the obvious family reasons during this holiday season, and if you're vaccinated and you're boosted and you take care when you go into congregate settings like airports to make sure you continually wear your mask, you should be okay.
“Are we going to get to the point where we won't have to wear masks on airplanes?” asked ABC’s Jonathan Karl, who was filling in as host on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” “I don’t think so,” replied Fauci. “I think when you're dealing with a closed space, even though the filtration is good, that you want to go that extra step when you have people — you know, you get a flight from Washington to San Francisco, it’s well over a five-hour flight. Even though you have a good filtration system, I still believe that masks are a prudent thing to do, and we should be doing it.
