Dr. Celine Gounder joins Kristen Welker to discuss the safety of travel as we await scientific data on the transmissibility of and vaccine efficacy against the omicron variant. Dr. Gounder agrees with President Biden’s decision to tighten travel restrictions, but believes the move is coming too late. “We should have done this sooner.
