AAP urges universal cloth face coverings for those ages 2 and up, with ‘rare exception’
“This virus is going to be with us for some time, and face coverings are a proven, effective way to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” said AAP President Sara “Sally” Goza, M.D., FAAP. “As parents prepare to send their children to school and into child care settings, cloth face coverings should be part of their new normal.”
One World Montessori is following the AAP’s interim guidance regarding face coverings for children ages 2 years and older. According to the AAP, children ages 2 years and older “can and should wear cloth face coverings when not able to physically distance, including while in schools, child care and other group settings.”
