The World Health Organization (WHO) said children aged 12 and over should wear masks to help tackle the COVID-19 pandemic under the same conditions as adults, while children between six and 11 should wear them on a risk-based approach.

Children aged 12 and over should particularly wear a mask when a one-metre distance from others cannot be guaranteed and there is widespread transmission in the area, the WHO and the United Nations Children’s Fund said in a document on the WHO website dated Aug. 21.

The potential impact on learning and psycho-social development, and the interactions the child has with people at high risk of developing serious illness, should also play a role. Studies suggest older children potentially play a more active role in transmission of the new coronavirus than younger children, the WHO and UNICEF said, adding more data was needed to better understand the role of children and adolescents in the transmission of the virus, which causes COVID-19.

Where is your mask right now? Is it in your pocket? On a counter? Hanging from rearview window? Bottom of your purse?On your chin? Did you wash your hands when putting on and removing? Seems like masks could spread more germs than prevent🤔.Masking everyone is ridiculous nomasks

Of course they should. And younger kids.

Why put Teachers at risk? From the time they enter JK, they should wear a mask & practice good hand washing techniques.

Stupid picture the second the mask gets wet it's useless.

What data backs this up?

Nobody wants to hear what the People's Foreign Propaganda organization has to say. Imagine listening to an organ of the PRC like it matters.

WHO haven't a clue what there doing. No good to anyone. If they would have advised everyone to wear masks in January we wouldn't be in this mess now. Worthless organisation

How in the world is anybody supposed to 'follow science' with regard to COVID when even the experts cannot agree?

My 3 year old and 7 year old wear masks in public and have no problem with it.

Medical advisers

Yeah who says?

Texas mandated 11yo & up wear a mask yet I see that they're forcing younger elementary-school children to wear them.

Don't let trump kill your children. We need them to keep The US nice for everybody when we're all gone.

No one should wear them except bandits, bank robbers, and medical personnel performing surgery.
