Researchers said social distancing may have to be extended unless a vaccine becomes available or 'critical care capacity is increased.'
"Intermittent distancing may be required into 2022 unless critical care capacity is increased substantially or a treatment or vaccine becomes available," the Harvard researchers said in findings published Tuesday in the journal Science.
Dr. Rosemary Guerguerian, NBC News' medical fellow, said that as with most mathematical models, the researchers' predictions are based on assumptions we don't yet know about the virus. The study added that even in the case of"apparent elimination," SARS-CoV-2 surveillance should still be maintained, as a resurgence in contagion may be possible as late as 2024. According to the findings, it is likely that COVID-19 could re-emerge every winter.
