Fauci: Steer Clear from New Year’s Eve Parties

Dr. Anthony Fauci warned people to avoid attending large New Year's Eve parties where they don't know if all the guests have been vaccinated against COVID-19. “I would recommend strongly, stay away from that this year. There will be other years to do that, but not this year." But Fauci — the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — said that people who are vaccinated and boosted can gather with close family with minimal risk if their loved ones are also vaccinated and boosted. Even New York City is scaling back the Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration as the Omicron variant spreads, Mayor Bill de Blasio recently announced.
