Vaccination, which has an urgent road to winter snow storms, is also hampering.
Most states in the northeastern United States temporarily closed COVID-19 vaccination facilities and delayed vaccination appointments.
There are also concerns that the speed of vaccine supply will be slower for the time being as transportation vehicles such as aircraft and trains are cut off.
