A pandemic of the novel coronavirus has now infected more than 102.5 million people worldwide and killed over 2.2 million of them, according to real-time data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University.
COVID-19 hospitalizations in the United States continue to show a downward trend, according to The COVID Tracking Project, a volunteer-run effort to track the U.S. outbreak.
There are 109,936 people currently hospitalized with the disease nationwide, the group said.
Meanwhile, 45 U.S. states saw their seven-day average for COVID-19 hospitalizations drop by at least 10%, the group said.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert, spoke about the latest updates on the U.S. vaccine rollout during an interview Monday on ABC News Live.
Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that he believes the vaccine will be available to everyone beginning in April, but it won't be until the fall that everyone has actually gotten their shot in the arm.
"It will take several months-May, June, July, August- before you really get what I would consider the herd immunity level, which is an estimate, but I think it's a reasonable estimate, namely getting 70 to 85% of the population vaccinated," Fauci, who is also Biden's chief medical adviser, told ABC News Live.
Fauci said that the timeline is not considering a future approval of coronavirus vaccines developed by Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca.
"I think if the J&J or the [AstraZeneca] product comes through with an efficacy that's good enough to be able to be in the mix, that will be very helpful to get things done even sooner than we thought," he said.
Fauci also opened up about an incident where he was exposed to a powder substance that was in his mail last year. The powder was later deemed benign, but only after his security detail put on hazmat suits and sprayed him down.
"It frightened the heck out of my children when they found out about it and my wife too," he said. "I mean, I've decided I'm doing something that might be dangerous but that's it, I chose it. My children did not choose that."
Watch Fauci's full interview with ABC News Live at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. ET Monday.
The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced Monday that it would be taking a much bigger role in vaccine rollout going forward.
An inter-agency task force will be established to coordinate the federal response to the country's outbreak. The task force will be "developing data dashboards to track personnel movement and vaccine distribution," according to a statement from FEMA.
The agency previously played a supporting role in running down state needs and managing supply chain issues.
FEMA will also set up federally administered vaccination centers. More details on the centers will be made available in the coming weeks, the agency said.
FEMA also announced it would refund the money states spent to use their National Guard troops to respond to the pandemic.

Minnesota health officials announced Monday that they have confirmed the first U.S. case of a new, more contagious variant of the novel coronavirus that initially emerged in Brazil.
The patient, who lives in the Twin Cities metro area, had traveled to Brazil before becoming ill during the first week of January, according to a statement from the Minnesota Department of Health. The specimen was collected Jan. 9.
"With the new lab information showing the case to be the Brazil P.1 variant, MDH epidemiologists are re-interviewing the person to obtain more details about the illness, travel and contacts," the Minnesota Department of Health said in the statement.
Officials warned that "while this variant is thought to be more transmissible than the initial 9 strain of the virus that causes COVID-19 disease, it is not yet known whether the variant causes more severe illness."
