The director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) responded to speculation that COVID-19-related mask mandates or lockdowns could return, coming after the agency recommended new vaccine boosters for nearly all Americans.

CDC Director Mandy Cohen was asked on Sept. 12 whether she feels confident that there won’t be widespread lockdowns, school closures, and a reversion to mask mandates.
