Should children wear a mask?

Decisions about mask use in children should be driven by what is in the best interest of the child. Mask use should be flexible, so that children can continue play, education and everyday activities.

WHO and UNICEF recommend the following:

Children aged 5 years and under do not need to wear a mask because in this age group, they may not be able to properly wear a mask without help or supervision.

2. In areas where Covid 19 is spreading, children ages 6-11 years are recommended to wear a well-fitted mask

in indoor settings where ventilation is poor or unknown, even if physical distancing of at least 1 meter can be maintained;

in indoor settings that have adequate ventilation when physical distancing of at least 1 meter cannot be maintained.  

3. Adolescents 12 years or older should follow the same WHO recommendations for mask use as adults:

A well-fitted mask that covers the nose and mouth should be worn in settings where Covid 19 is spreading, regardless of vaccination status or history of prior infection, when interacting with individuals who are not members of their household.
