Dr. Fauci says Santa is immune to COVID-19

Dr. Anthony Fauci says kids don't have to worry that Santa might spread the virus as he plans to visit millions of homes on Christmas Eve.

"Santa is exempt from this because Santa, of all the good qualities, has a lot of good innate immunity," Fauci told USA TODAY.

Santa, being quite old and overweight, would appear to be at higher risk of contracting COVID-19. But Dr. Fauci says there is nothing to worry about.

"Santa is not going to be spreading any infections to anybody," he said.

So, you can leave out the cookies and milk. Santa Claus is coming to town.
