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.

That would actually make a good campaign message:
“When you go to vote, remember which Party gave us the 55 mph speed limit!”
As my daughter said to me the other day - a pandemic where you have to get tested to even know if you are infected is not a scary pandemic.
We all know Fauci is a publicity hound and just wants to get a reaction from Trump. But I always thought Christie was halfway normal. Well I don’t anymore. He came down with COVID, got over it fast. He does not know if he got it because he was not wearing a mask. Just as many people get it that wear a mask all the time. He now goes on
CNN and he’s became a spokesman for masks. He’s either an idiot or he’s the spokesman for some get rich fast mask maker.
It’s very sinister! I’m living in tyranny which hides behind smiles.
This lifetime government “ worker “ and snake oil quack should be exiled . What a loser.
The number of deaths keep falling and the only reason the number of cases is going up is due to big increases in testing.
People are made to be deceived.
Bin Lafen is laughing from hell.
It’s only a little time until Fauci and Biden will want everyone to wear hazmat suits to get the mail.
There has never been a single peer reviewed paper showing their meaning of "climate change" yet their motto this year is something about saving science vote Biden
Bolshevik Biden Mandate Fest:
Mandate Mask
Mandate 100% OBidenShakedownCare
Mandate BodyInvasion Vaccines
Mandate Emissions
Preparation Conditioning for the Mandates Shakedowns.
I wore the mask. I used hand sanitizer, washed hands, etc. I still ended up testing positive this week.
I don’t want one more second spent on maskmandates. I want he bastards caught who manufactured this virus and released it brought to justice.
I’m a very active and healthy Fifty three year old and I’ve been dealing with this thing for six days. My heart rate is way up. I don’t have shortness of breath though. Already had the headache, then body aches, then fever. But it’s what it does to your blood platelets and organs. Masks won’t help.
Maybe I would be happy and optimistic, rather than annoyed and frustrated. :-)
Who cares about 100% compliance? Some people already have breathing problems; masks don’t play well with them.
More seriously, I really don’t know. Just another reason to leave it up to businesses whether to require them.
Fire this smurf.

Spoken like a true Hitler wanna be. Ridiculous on so many levels.
First-those random double blind studies that he cited as needed before advising use of HCQ—there ain’t none FOR using masks.
Second-The studies that have been done show that surgical masks and N95 masks (more effective than regular cloth)do not prevent the spread of flu virus. There is evidence that wearing masks can be harmful.
Third - Mandating Masks Nation Wide or even State Wide makes no sense. We have 11 counties in Mo. than have less than 100 cases since this began. My county has only had 17 deaths, only 74 required hospitalization since this began. And we currently only have 123 cases which includes some congregational-from the prison and nursing homes.
Forth - You first -Faaaaowwwchi. What a hypocritical POS.
Scamdemic. This thing has been used to get vote by mail, get election standards lowered and changed to make them looser, drive thru voting, Churches closed while liquor stores are still opened. Having deaths coded covid even if the death really was not caused by covid so the state/city gets money for it and it makes the death numbers larger. I would say sinister is a good word for it.
The swine flu under Obama and Biden infected 60 million people not one lockdown or mask not one.
This bears repeating.
