Fauci: Country should be in 'good shape' to reopen schools in the fall
By Peter Sullivan - 04/07/20 07:46 PM EDT
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Tuesday that he thinks the country will be in “good shape†for reopening school by the start of next school year in the fall.
“Bottom line is: No absolute prediction, but I think we're going to be in good shape,†Fauci told a White House news briefing when asked whether he thinks schools will be able to start on time next school year.
Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, noted there is much uncertainty around the situation, but said that by the fall, enough time is likely to have passed to allow schools to reopen.
Schools across the country are currently shut down as part of the efforts to slow the spread of the virus.
