As more and more people go back to work, a big question remains.

Who's going to take care of the children?

Millions of American families depend on being able to drop their kids off at free public school or low-feed-day care.

But when the pandemic hit, the vast majority of these places closed.

And as we head into the start of the school year, it's still not clear when they'll be able to reopen safely.

While parents, educators, and government officials have been scrambling to try and figure out what to do,

a few places around the country have been quietly operating facilities for children throughout the entire pandemic.

The YMCA and New York's Department of Education have been running centers for the children of essential workers.

These centers have provided care for tens of thousands of children while their parents were doing necessary work.

So on today's episode, we're going to visit one of those centers.

It's a closed public school in New York City that's been repurposed into a child care facility and it kept operating even when the pandemic was at its worst.

So how did they do it? And what does it teach us about the best path forward?

I'm Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent. And this is coronavirus, fact versus fiction.

For today's episode, I'm going to turn it over to my colleague, CNN anchor, Laura Jarrett.

Now, Laura and her producers went to go visit one of these centers last week.

PSIS 128 is a very small building about four stories high.

It's in Queens, New York. And the school has technically been closed since March.

But the facility has now been repurposed into a child care center for the kids of frontline workers who have been unable obviously to work from home since the pandemic hit.

Good morning.

Hi, Happy.

What's your last name?

Hi, I'm Lisa.
