Schools haven't been the major driver of community spread of the coronavirus, Dr. Fauci said. But, maskless groups congregating indoors are.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, said that bars should be closed as a way to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 infections, allowing children to safely return to their classrooms."If you look at the data, the spread among children and from children is not really very big at all, not like one would have suspected," Fauci added.

In an interview on ABC's "This Week," Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,of how jurisdictions should approach the coronavirus pandemic during this critical stage. Fauci said that schools largely haven't been the drivers of community spread of the virus, noting that maskless groups congregating indoors are a major culprit."If you mitigate the things that you know are causing spread in a very, very profound way, in a robust way, if you bring that down, you will then indirectly and ultimately protect the children in the school because the community level is determined how things go across the board," he said.
