NEW YORK (Reuters) – Top infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci on Tuesday said that decisions on whether to open schools in U.S. regions hit hard by the fast-spreading coronavirus outbreak should be left to local officials.
“We should try, as the default, to get the kids to stay in school,” Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said at an event hosted by Georgetown University.
