A few things you probably make sure you have with you when you leave to go to the grocery store or out in public might include a face mask, hand sanitizer, gloves, and disinfectant wipes. Well, you may have to add goggles to that list soon, according to national medical expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci.

As the debate whether or not to resume in-person classes this fall continues on, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have weighed in releasing new guidelines that are in favor of reopening education and child care centers.
“It is critically important for our public health to open schools this fall,” said CDC Director Dr. Robert R. Redfield.
“I know this has been a difficult time for our Nation’s families. School closures have disrupted normal ways of life for children and parents, and they have had negative health consequences on our youth. CDC is prepared to work with K-12 schools to safely reopen while protecting the most vulnerable,” he added.
