Anthony Fauci, the US top infectious disease expert said on Thursday he expected to continue advising the government on its pandemic response after president-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration in January.
Fauci noted that he had spoken with Biden’s incoming chief of staff, Ronald Klain, and he plans to meet with other members of Biden’s team via video link.
“They have not been, shall we say, substantive about where we’re going. But enough to say ‘hang in there,’” Fauci told CBS during an interview.
“Today will be the first day where there will substantive discussions about the transition between me and the Biden team,” he added.
The United States has seen an avalanche of new coronavirus cases in recent weeks, and the number of people hospitalized has reached an all-time high, surpassing 100,000, according to the Covid Tracking Project.
The spike in cases comes even as prospects for the imminent roll out of a vaccine become more realistic.
