Experts Discuss Best Cloth Masks For Children To Protect Against COVID-19 

The New York Times (12/18, Szalinski) examined "90 cloth masks for kids, pored over scientific studies, spoke with health experts and researchers, and tested the finalists with a panel of 10 kids, ages 3 to 10." The Times added, "The best mask is the one that fits and that your child will be able to wear for most of the day, experts say." The Times noted, "The American Academy of Pediatrics says children ages 2 and older can safely wear a mask, and that they should do so in a group setting, including at school or in day care." According to AAP spokesperson Jennifer Shu, MD, "the ideal mask for kids is 'one that a child is willing and able to wear for most of the day, put on and remove correctly, and that she won't be constantly touching.'" The Times also highlighted recommendations by the American Academy of Dermatology for children with sensitive skin.
