Former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb weighed in on the novel coronavirus’ effect on education in the U.S.
during an appearance on the CBS television program “Face The Nation” Sunday, where he said it depends on a school’s precautions whether or not it should shut down in the event of an outbreak.
If children are in classroom “pods” (bubbles), the doctor suggested educators could make the decision to test the class, and isolate students, “as opposed to closing down the entire school.”.
