Santa will be spreading lots of joy — not COVID-19 — when he visits millions of homes this Christmas.
That’s because Kris Kringle is immune to coronavirus, according to the nation’s top infectious disease expert.
“Santa is exempt from this because Santa, of all the good qualities, has a lot of good innate immunity,” Dr. Anthony Fauci told USA Today.

But rest assured, one of the worst global health crises ever won’t keep Santa down.
“Santa is not going to be spreading any infections to anybody,” Fauci said.
Thankfully, Santa’s little helpers have been busy warding off the virus in the North Pole, according to Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
