Dr. Anthony Fauci says that eye protection may be recommended at soon to help prevent spreading COVID-19.

He added that the virus infects mucosal surfaces, including your eyes, mouth, and nose, that produces mucus to stop germs and dirt from getting into your body.

“Theoretically you should protect all of the mucosal surfaces, so if you have goggles or an eye shield, you should use it,” according to Fauci.
