White House COVID-19 adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci warned about the potential for the reinstatement of COVID-19 restrictions in the United States.

Americans, he told the BBC on Sunday, "need to be prepared for the possibility" of an uptick in COVID-19 cases, which may lead to further restrictions.

"I don't want to use the word 'lockdowns.' That has a charged element to it. But, I believe that we must keep our eye on the pattern of what we're seeing with infections," he told the outlet.
