Q: “should kids wear masks” A: “I can tell you more about: Should travelers wear facemasks or coverings? In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, CDC recommends that everyone wear a cloth face covering over their nose and mouth when in the community setting, including during travel if they must travel. This as an additional public health measure people should take to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in addition to (not instead of) social distancing, frequent hand cleaning and other everyday preventive actions. A cloth face covering is not intended to protect the wearer, but may prevent the spread of virus from the wearer to others. This would be especially important in the event that someone is infected but does not have symptoms. Medical masks and N-95 respirators are still reserved for healthcare workers and other first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance..”
Q: “should kids be wearing masks” A: “I can tell you more about: Should the general population in Canada wear masks to protect themselves from COVID-19? Medical masks, including surgical, medical procedure face masks and respirators (like N95 masks), must be kept for health care workers and others providing direct care to COVID-19 patients. Wearing a non-medical mask or face covering while out in public is optional. If you do choose to wear one, refer to our guidelines on wearing non-medical masks and how to make your own. Masks alone will not prevent the spread of COVID-19. You must consistently and strictly adhere to good hygiene and public health measures, including frequent hand washing and physical (social) distancing..”

Q: “do children have to wear masks” A: “I’m sorry, I didn’t quite understand that! If you try rewording your question, I might be able to provide an answer. I work best if your question is simple and straightforward. Or, you can try asking me a new question.” Expected Answer:
“Children under the age of 2 years should not wear any type of masks. Because babies' airways are smaller, breathing through a mask is even harder on them and they are more likely to suffocate if they use a mask. Older infants or young toddlers are not likely to keep the mask on and will likely try to remove it. This will mean they are touching their face more and could infect themselves with the virus. It is safest to keep children at home and follow social distancing.
