Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the president, said Friday that children who haven’t received the COVID-19 vaccine should continue wearing masks when classes resume this fall.

The nation’s leading infectious disease expert stated the guidance after CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked him how parents can keep their children safe while vaccine approval is still pending for them.
