Voters can safely vote in-person in the upcoming election if proper precautions are followed, according to a top infectious disease expert.

“I think if carefully done, according to the guidelines, there’s no reason that I can see why that not be the case,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during an event broadcast Thursday.
