Biden says he doesn't think coronavirus is here to stay
President Biden on Friday said he doesn't think the coronavirus is here to stay, but added that he does think it will remain around the world.
"No, I don't think COVID is here to stay, but having COVID in the environment here and in the world is probably here to stay," he told reporters at the White House.
"COVID as we're dealing with it now is not here to stay, the normal doesn't have to be. We have so many more tools we developed and we continue to develop that can contain COVID and other strains of COVID," the president added.
The president's comments come amid a severe surge of the coronavirus in the U.S. and across the globe due to the highly transmissible omicron variant. The country has seen a dramatic increase in cases after the holidays when Americans gathered with their families indoors.
