Anthony Fauci, a leading member of the White House pandemic task force, said on Monday that he does not recommend imposing a travel ban on the United Kingdom, where a new mutant strain of the CCP virus is prevalent.

During an interview with CNN, Fauci said the U.S. government should “without a doubt keep an eye” on the situation in the UK, but also not to “overreact.”
