covers three age groups:should wear a mask under the same conditions as adults, in particular when they cannot guarantee a distance of at least one metre from others and there is widespread transmission in the area, the WHO advises taking into account how widespread the transmission of the virus is and whether the child is interacting with high-risk individuals such as the elderly.
"This is particularly important for adults working with children who may have close contact with children and one another." Adults aged 60 or over, or those with underlying health conditions, should wear medical masks, it says.
Life in reverse ... 🐉
Masks at high school is common sense. Though at that age they could learn from home.
Muzzles should be awarded to woke BBC hacks.
🤬
What a nonsense!!! Young people don't need it!!
Masks should NOT be worn at all!
This is completely nonsense. This virus is very low impact generally, zero impact on children, and has broadly disappeared in most countries. My kids will continue to take the same approach as I do. No masks.
I don't think wearing masks help
Exactly so why is out government not implementing this in schools?!
If you trust these clowns then you're a fool. NoMasks
Except in UK secondary schools. At least not until hundreds of parents and teachers are harmed, when the government will probably perform yet another U turn. Why not show a bit of leadership, take the decision now and save lives?
Vinctum1 Stop spreading fear and lies

WHO is corrupt to the core. Masks don't work and may harm your health. Forcing children to wear masks is child abuse.
So that Masks can continue to be scare-mongers masquerading as protectors to continue to remind people that 'there is something to be frightened of'.
Interesting how they've now switched the rhetoric from 'COVID19' to 'coronavirus'. They're switching the focus away from the disease to focus on a virus that MIGHT cause the disease. There is NO intention of every lifting these draconian measures. We can't eradicate a virus.
People are not believing the WHO and Tedros the terrorist.
Where's the health risk assessment?
WHO = Zero credibility.
No one should be muzzled
When was the BBC going to show the press conference from the W.H.O. from about 6 weeks ago. Not shown on UK TV. (as far as I'm aware).
When did the WHO get so stupid?
Funny how the age is twelve, the same age as when you go to secondary school, funny that. Is this age then actually science-led and thereby a massive coincidence?
No one should wear masks and can bbc and government kindly present a health risk assessment before mandating anything? It’s political and not scientific.
davebancroft Who owns who?
In preparation for the Kids going back to school soon! Wasn’t this the same organisation who declared that masks give “A false feeling of protection”.
Why has the UK govt not made it mandatory for secondary school pupils to wear to a mask. Ive not heard anything fm my council/school on this......and its only a week before our kids are back in school! Y is UK not bothered, esp after 1 of the max covid deaths!
These comments are depressing. Just wear a fucking mask.
Absolutely, it should be compulsory. There is no issue there, so just do so!
BBC promotes child abuse
No! BBC and it’s reporters are plain disgusting. Constant fear mongering and peddling gov propaganda. We are tired of the lies. DefundTheBBC
Why aren't masks mandatory indoors in secondary schools then? 'Recent evidence suggests that children likely have the same or higher viral loads in their nasopharynx compared with adults and that children can spread the virus effectively in households'
Piss off! Masks should be worn by no one! This bullshit parade must be stopped Plandemic Agenda21 ID2020 Operationlockstep Quantumtattoo Coronavirus Covid19
MichaelRosenYes Because according to Whitty, children are not at risk?
Thinking governments allowing inferiority ppl from practicing anti-science by the name of rights of freedom and resulting more infections and death where deprived other ppl's rights of living, isn't guilty?
The revolution is coming. Evil can only be masqueraded as safety for so long until humanity wakes up. It’s happening. Your lies are being exposed and truth is winning. Our children will NOT be your mass social experiment. Just. Say. No. 1984 Fascism WakeUpWorld
No, no, no. It's child abuse plain and simple.
WHO?
No they fucking should NOT!
Total BS Seweden did right. And are back to normal. What has the WHO been right about? Chinese propaganda machine.
The age of who and when to mask should not be as controversial as the virus itself.
MichaelRosenYes Six and up in uae. We’ve all been wearing ours by law since March. It’s definitely had a knock-on effect. You feel more aware of your distance from others. Sanitize at every port of call and stifle sneezes to avoid mask-sog. It’s good to feel united in the fight against covid.
They don't know who are carriers under 12 as some have started adolescence. So in my opinion. If you walk you wear mask. Better to air on the side of caution. A child can touch surfaces to and pass it on
No they shouldn't they maybe but yh who is wrong and ugly vaccine is on way
The clock is ticking.
The clock is ticking.
I'm 11Yrs360days old no mask for another week-what changes? idiots No 1 knows the official line on anything now - everyone has given up You can see it.Mask?No mask?1 metre?2 metres?No visiting houses,meet me mates in the pub?Total joke pritipatel BorisJohnson Hellohowru12345
May be DiscoveryEdUk should reconsider getting kids and teachers wearing masks in school:
Ok they trying to kill new generation as well after 50 years will be more disasters due to use harmful mask. Because using mask could be dangerous more than virus.
At least it will stop them wittering on about not being allowed out to play with their mates
Hahaha. The situation may not change for 2 years. 2 deaths today. Fraud.
We were close in Belgium. Kids as of 13 have already been wearing masks for 3 weeks. That's why we always trusted our scientists...
Even Homer Simpson has to wear a Mask kids.
can we just all get a grip - this a becoming ridiculous
GrantWhiteTZ But not in schools with 30+ kids and a teacher in one room? Makes as much sense as anything else at the moment.
Why only over the age of 12? Children can carry and spread this deadly disease just like adults can.
MichaelRosenYes Soooo, schools. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Couldnt give a shit not happening to me or my kids 🖕
Some interesting researched information regarding WHO, well worth a watch... Spoiler alert - gates foundation 2nd largest funder after USA... I guess if USA no longer funds them its top funder is gates foundation... 🤔 that guy certainly gets about...
'For children aged between six and 11, the WHO advises taking into account how widespread the transmission of the virus is and whether the child is interacting with high-risk individuals such as the elderly. '
Its no longer a pandemic which is why they changed from COVID19 to coronavirus And why no mention of Deaths any more because its now a Casedemic pushed by the Government to try keep people in fear. Cases do not = deaths. Dont fall for the scamdemic
are we paying taxes for posting bullshit like this ?
World's Top Epidemiologists - Masks Don't Work!
you do realise this covid thing is bullshit right?
Why? To keep your mush warm.
The sooner your corporation comes down the better.
there is no pandemic
Choose a mask that gives you a lovely, lovely voice.
How very Muslim....
wonder why the Chinese want us all in masks
Look at the work done by the Hindu terrorists Rss bjp in India
WHO can f... off.
yossarian67 Tell this story to the Swedish and they will laugh at you
Disgusting propaganda now treating kids like diseased lepers. This appalling abuse of our civil liberties needs to stop. I’ll pass on disease causing face rags thanks, and so will my 13 year old daughter.
2 Peter 3:9 (KJB) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Pets should wear masks too
Do people realize that the governments running the manufactured 'Corona crisis' intend for it to continue FOR EVER? That is why they called their Orwellian Police State regime, introduced using the Corona scam as the cover story, 'the new normal'.
Under 11 years old can’t keep the face mask on properly anyway.
Utterly ridiculous! Healthy children are NOT at risk from covid.
fuckthewho
And you can trust WHO because their advice is based in science and not political pressure.
The BBC doing its bit to utterly destroy Britain for the Globalists
There is a 99.97% Survival Rate. Defund the BBC
SchoolDuggery Do you think this will make any difference to English guidance? We always seem so far behind.
Masks for the general public with no training on how to wear them is nonsensical. People constantly adjusting/touch them increasing chances of transfer of virus onto surface.
THE WHO ARE A TERRORIST ORGANISATION.
LOL imbeciles !!!
Replies to this thread explain why the UK ended up with 50k+ deaths while even developing countries with similar or higher populations managed to save their vulnerable citizens. Proof is in the pudding.
Bbc stop the whole world now ! Warning warning warning!!!
Get to fcuk! Any evidence to prove they are safe to wear consistently from a young age whilst organs still developing etc? Nope I bet not! Similar to the vaping argument no one really knows as not proven the side effects
Ybretsae We have got to start saying no. All along we have been told by Twat Hancock that there is no evidence of spread in schools so why wear a mask now? They are all sick paedos that's why.
Love that
They change there minds every day
Never.
What a bunch of tossers we have to share land mass with. Put a mask on...better still pop a bag over your head...preferably a plastic one...
Don't you get tired of the same bullshit articles?
FFS a 12 year old could have told us that...
Why is this so hard for people to understand? Wearing a face mask is an additional measure (along with social distancing, hand sanitising etc.) to slow the spread of this virus. A recent study from Oxford University, other top-leading scientists, all confirm this.
WHO?
Nobody has to wear them its perfectly legal not to.
Is that Homer Simpson?
They shouldn’t be worn at all it’s pointless , resist this bollocks
I wanna get covid and breathe on people who don't wear masks
BBC News (UK) UK state-affiliated media
Bollocks
How about no...
Pathetic and confused WHO. Give us the evidence of the science behind the use of the nose mask and we'll gladly comply.
Don't know how many times it's gonna need saying but it's about metabolic health and not havong comorbidities when getting any infectious disease let alone COVID-19. And the best way to improve it, by not eating ultraprocessed food filled with grains, sugars and seed oils.
When it becomes a level playing field for wearing masks, that’s when the W H O can start and lecture people on wearing masks
Who
Flip that to USA airlines
Any chance you are going to report this?
🖕
Is that normal age 12 or illegal immigrant age 12?
Just watched manctopia, typical bbc making out Manchester is a sh1thole! Nothing positive. Yeah the bbc is impartial🙄
The majority of replies here are the reason why UK has one of the highest COVID-19 death rates in the world.
WHO staying ‘relevant’ by scaring the public a little more. Great work...
You know the ramifications of doing this are alarming to the people your trying to do it to.
Absolute insanity. Show me the science, not just words.
The WHO need to shut the F up for once and stop causing panic
what's the harm to wear it if helps.
For a scamdemic that is so deadly and contagious that you have to stick something right up your nose to your brain to see if you have it no thanks exemption screen shots ready and waiting x
They are globalist mouth pieces resist the lie.COVIDIOTS now fk off.
It’s time the WHO left us in peace and spent their drug company funding elsewhere
Just here to read what the lower 50 percentile IQ crowd complains about.
I'm no big fan of realDonaldTrump, but let's hope he bankrupts these cu*ts at the WHO
When is Roy Larner getting his George Cross?
I wonT let mE kidS were maSks Cos I dont BelieVe iN theM etc
Defund the WHO. Follow the USA. Notice how bill gates funds this corrupt organisation as the leading funder. Notice how gates funds Oxford university where the vaccine is being researched! Notice how gates funds the BBC! Fuck off fake news media. You are the virus
Breaking news.
And the award for 'Tweet most triggering to Anti mask sh*t for brains' goes to... BRAVO! 😂

Recalling my teaching days, younger children (prone to wiping their dirty hands/noses on your skirt/trousers and occasionally affectionately sloppy kissing/licking), or their teachers, irrespective of Covid-19, should be in hazmat suits!
Masks are all about : Compliance NOT Science ! 🤦🏽♂️
It’s only a highly contagious unknown deadly SARS virus for gods sake! I’m old enough to remember when the Govt tried to make us wear condoms because of AIDS! It was no worse than flu!
BOMBSHELL: WHO Coronavirus PCR Test Primer Sequence is Found in All Human DNA – Piece of Mindful
Just muzzle WHO instead.
Coronavirus pandemic: Don't eat bats.
Making it up as they go along....
I just wonder why no one told the scientists who work with these kind of viruses that they have no need to wear the almost space suit like protection. It seems a mask with batman on it will do exactly the same thing for them
My sons new school begs to differ. Masks will not be permitted in school. This is because, as a result of wearing them for a long period of time, students will be likely to fiddle with or remove them; this actually increases the risk of transmission.
F**king Balls.
This wankers need to be locked up. And the complicit BBC for giving them advertising space.
Nope. Not kids. It’s not happening. That will be the line in the sand.
What does the WHO know?
