White House coronavirus advisor supports continued use of masks indoors

“I agree with Mayor Adams that when you’re in indoor space, you should be wearing a mask,” Jha said during an appearance on “This Week.” “I feel that very strongly that in crowded indoor spaces, in places with high transmission, people should be doing that.”

The United States survived a severe winter spike that recorded the highest level of infection with a seven-day rolling average of around 800,000 ケース. The level dropped to a much more manageable case count over the past few months, but May has seen another rise, with the seven-day average peaking over 100,000 for the first time since February.
