Dr. Anthony Fauci, an infectious disease expert on the White House coronavirus task force, said Sunday it is likely that the virus will become a seasonal illness.

“Unless we get this globally under control there is a very good chance that it’ll assume a seasonal nature,” Fauci told CBS’s “Face The Nation.”

Fauci said that even if the world is able to largely contain COVID-19 soon, there still needs to be preparation for a resurgence.

“We need to be prepared that since it will be unlikely to be completely eradicated from the planet that as we get into next season we may see the beginning of a resurgence,” he said.

Fauci said the federal government is working on preparedness measures, such as developing a vaccine.
