Biden says schools 'should probably all be open' by the fall

• The "Today" show released its interview with President Joe Biden on Friday.
• He said that "based on the science and the CDC," schools "should probably all be open" in the fall.
• "There's not overwhelming evidence that there's much of a transmission among these young people," he added.

President Joe Biden said that schools for all ages should "probably all be open" by this fall.

"Based on the science and the CDC, they should probably all be open," Biden told the "Today" show in an interview released Friday.

"There's not overwhelming evidence that there's much of a transmission among these young people," he added.

COVID-19 vaccines are not available for children yet and are unlikely to be by the fall. Earlier this month, Dr. Anthony Fauci predicted that "kids of any age" would be able to receive a COVID-19 vaccine by 2022.

Many schools across the country are reopening for in-person learning.

But fully reopening has become a political issue. As Insider reported, many school districts don't have the funding for health measures that would reduce infection risk, and some districts aren't enforcing mask-wearing.
