Top CDC official warns of virus resurgence in the fall and renewed lockdowns

Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the United States could suffer renewed lockdowns later this year, as a resurgence of the coronavirus is likely during flu season.

“We’ve seen evidence that the concerns it would go south in the southern hemisphere like flu [are coming true], and you’re seeing what’s happening in Brazil now,” Redfield told the Financial Times Wednesday. “And then when the southern hemisphere is over I suspect it will reground itself in the north.”
