But he has said before that he doesn't think a federal law would be the way to go.
"I don't like to be authoritarian from the federal government, but at the local level, if governors and others essentially mandate the use of masks when you have an outbreak, I think that would be very important," Fauci told Alabama Sen. Doug Jones during a Facebook live event in July.
Until now.
"Well, if people are not wearing masks, then maybe we should be mandating it," Fauci told CNN's Erin Burnett Friday.
Christie urges Americans to wear a mask and says they are not a 'partisan or cultural symbol' Christie urges Americans to wear a mask and says they are not a 'partisan or cultural symbol' Covid-19 has been worsening across the United States, with cases rising in 32 states Friday and holding steady in 17 more. The University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation said the country was entering a winter surge as new infections passed 75,000 in a single day on Friday and more than 800 deaths were reported.
Mask mandates may be tricky to enforce, but it might be time to call for them, Fauci said.
"There's going to be a difficulty enforcing it, but if everyone agrees that this is something that's important and they mandate it and everybody pulls together and says, you know, we're going to mandate it but let's just do it, I think that would be a great idea to have everybody do it uniformly," he said.

It’s in his head....he’s making it all up....just in time for the election.
Ha. What a hypocrite.
In CA. we have a mask mandate YET people are still getting the virus, I want to know WHY the hell there seems to be NO FLU this year guess everything is NOW CV19!!!
This evil twerp has done far more damage than bin laden.
Maybe it helps but maybe not, no one knows so we should have freedom.
The fibers you breathe....from both cotton AND poly-materials (fake) are dangerous to your lungs/lung linings.
See studies linked, at #18.
I’m Joe Biden, and I approved this message.
I’ve lost track of how many times Fauci has flip flopped on this and several other issues.
I think that the Chinese tell Fauci what to do. I would like to mandate that the guy just go away.

Fauci needs to spend more time in the bull pen and less time running his mouth.
The Cindy Sheehan of our time: as soon as the Biased Media (BM for short) have no more use for him he’ll disappear...
Masks are mandatory in Oregon. Both in public and in private.
A mask may help prevent you from spreading it, but it won’t typically prevent you from getting it.
Also, as I understand it, it can spread by hand-to-hand contact, so if you’re wearing a mask, but washing your hands with the typical pre-2020 brevity, you could be gettin’ it and givin’ it, anyway.
No reason to do the Slow Joe thing and wear masks outdoors all the time. If Slow Joe gets in the WH and mandates we wear masks outdoors all the time, that will be something that I will honor only in the breach.
The original HIV causes AIDS hoaxer...
That munchkin is causing more trouble than he is worth.
Let’s all ignore him and his stupid mask!!!!!
Okay, now I feel better.
Hi Jane, have a nice weekend.
Just another reason to disobey Slow Joe if he gets in the WH.
So Governor Bi-Karen is making people wear them in their own houses? Am I gettin’ that right?
