He went on to say that these measures would probably not be in place for the rest of the year, calling them temporary but necessary to fade a new wave of infections.
“This is short-term, all we are trying to do is overcome this wave of cases,” Osterholm said.

“I think the message was consistent, although you may have confused the audience,” he added.
His comments come after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Friday in a new direction that fully vaccinated people can travel safely.
