WASHINGTON (AP) – President Joe Biden will urge Americans to get vaccinated and booster shots, as he seeks to quell concerns about a newly identified COVID-19 variant called omicron. But he will not immediately push for more restrictions to stem the spread of the virus. That’s according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert. Fauci said Monday that there have been no cases of the variant identified in the United States yet but it is “inevitable” that it will make its way into the country. Biden is expected to make remarks on the new variant at the White House on Monday.
