The US could be impacted by a second wave of the Coronavirus, per the CDC director.

Dr. Robert Redfield revealed that the Coronavirus could become something seasonal, similar to the flu and other viruses. He urged the country to push for more testing and preventative methods for the future.

“I think we have to assume this is like other respiratory viruses, and there will be a seasonality to it,” Redfield said on “Good Morning America.”

“The CDC is science-based, data-driven, [so] until we see it, we don’t know for certain [there will be a resurgence]” Redfield added. “But it is critical that we plan that this virus is likely to follow a seasonality pattern similar to flu, and we’re going to have another battle with it upfront and aggressively next winter.”

According to his predictions, COVID-19 could make a retuned next winter, but hopefully, by then we are better equipped.

“We are working hard to augment [public health tools] now so that as we get into the next season we’ll be able to stay in high containment mode while we complement that with some continued mitigation strategies.”
