Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in an interview Wednesday that wearing goggles or an eye shield in addition to a face mask would provide the fullest protection against COVID-19.
Fauci told ABC News that people have mucosa not just in the nose and mouth, but also in the eyes, so those seeking “perfect protection” should use a physical barrier that also protects the eyes.
