The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has threatened that another US lockdown will be on the cards if coronavirus cases spike, at the agency's first briefing in three months after it was sidelined when the pandemic began.

'If cases begin to go up again, particularly if they go up dramatically, it's important to recognize that more mitigation efforts such as what were implemented back in March may be needed again,' the CDC's deputy director for infectious diseases, Jay Butler, warned in a press briefing Friday.

Fears are mounting that several states embarked on reopening their economies too early, with a renewed spike in cases recorded in Texas, Florida and Arizona.

Experts are warning that the surge in such states is still the first - and not a second - wave of the virus that never truly went away.

CDC officials issued the grave warning Friday that the US could be headed for a second lockdown, after the first plunged the economy into a recession and sparked historic levels of unemployment across the nation.

'Right now, communities are experiencing different levels of transmission occurring, as they gradually ease up onto the community mitigation efforts and gradually reopen,' said Butler.

The 'pandemic is not over', he added, and so states may need to may need to reimplement the strict measures that were put in place back in March if cases rise 'dramatically'.

"We are not going to shut down the economy," said the White House National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow in an interview with Fox News on Friday. "What you do have is certain spots are seeing a little bit of a jump up, some small metropolitan areas are seeing it. The CDC and the health people are all over it. They've sent some task forces out to deal with it."

"But, if you look nationally, the important point is the rate of increase [in] new cases is between zero and one percent. It�s really flattened out, and with respect to fatalities, it's the same. It's actually lower than that. It�s like zero to a half [of] a percent," Kudlow continued.
