Are you ready to add goggles to your pandemic gear?
Dr. Anthony Fauci says that eye protection may be recommended at some point to help prevent spreading COVID-19.
“Theoretically you should protect all of the mucosal surfaces, so if you have goggles or an eye shield, you should use it,” he said. Some initial responses on Twitter TWTR, -0.87% and the Facebook-owned FB, +8.17% Instagram suggest many people are against it. “How long until we’re told that hazmat suits are recommended?” tweeted one reader under the name Jeffrey Wozniak.

It only suggests protective eyewear for health care professionals, noting on its site that “use of eye protection is recommended in areas with moderate to substantial community transmission.
And there are some people, including virologist and epidemiologist Dr. Joseph Fair, who believe that they were infected with COVID-19 through their eyes. Dr. Fair told NBC’s CMCSA, -1.99% “Today” show in May that while he wore a mask and gloves and wiped down his seat on a crowded flight two weeks earlier, he still got sick — and he blames not having any protection over his eyes.
