The head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggested Tuesday that parents wear masks at home to protect unvaccinated children. Dr. Francis Collins said "it’s clear" that the delta variant is capable of causing serious illness in kids while addressing whether young children should avoid indoor situations.

He noted that while rare, there are many examples of young people being sickened by the virus and cited new recommendations for kids under 12 to avoid being in places where they might get infected and recommendations for universal masking at schools, and even for adults at home.

"Parents of unvaccinated kids should be thoughtful about this and the recommendation is to wear masks there as well," Collins said, while appearing on CNN. "I know that’s uncomfortable, I know it seems weird, but it is the best way to protect your kids."
