Fauci: Social distancing guidelines likely to remain

“It’s going to be a matter of weeks. It’s not going to be tomorrow, and it’s certainly not going to be next week,“ he said. „It’s going to be a little bit more than that.”

Fauci’s assessment Sunday echoes Surgeon General Jerome Adams, who acknowledged days after the administration’s announcement that the 15-day period would likely not be enough.

Fauci also noted that the plan is still to eventually loosen up restrictions, but improvements in testing speed must come first.

“You can do it, but you absolutely must have in place the capability of going there, testing, testing in an efficient way — not take a test, come back five days later and find out if you’re infected.”

“That’s the connection,“ he explained. „I want to make sure, not just tests out there, but are the tests able to be implemented.”
