Dr. Fauci Now Recommends Safety Goggles for COVID-19 Protection — Here Are the 7 Best for Kids

Check out these 7 kids’ safety goggles for COVID-19.

For months, parents have been stocking up on face masks to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. They’ve also been encouraging kids to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds, use hand sanitizer when soap and water aren’t available, and not touch their nose, mouth, or eyes. It seems simple enough, but any parent of young children will tell you that getting a kid to stop touching their face is easier said than done. But, it’s more important than ever, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has a pretty good explanation as to why (of course).

He told ABC News, “You have mucosa in the nose, mucosa in the mouth, but you also have mucosa in the eye.” Theoretically, you should protect all the mucosal surfaces. So if you have goggles or an eye shield you should use it.” And while safety goggles for COVID-19 are “not universally recommended” yet, Dr. Fauci went on to say that, “if you really want to be complete, you should probably use it if you can.”

That’s enough for us to start considering using protective eyewear for ourselves and our children, especially as they head back to school in a few weeks. We found the best protective eyewear and goggles for kids from Amazon, Glasses USA, Zenni and more, to help stop kids from touching their eyes and spreading COVID-19.
