A pediatric infectious disease physician has some tips to make mask wearing fun and safe.
TORONTO -- As cities across Canada begin to require mask wearing in public spaces, it can be quite an adjustment for anyone, let alone young children.
Health Canada has said that children under the age of two should not wear a mask, while the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests "anyone who has trouble breathing" or is "unable to remove the mask without assistance," should also avoid wearing a mask.
Brophy recommends responding with something along the lines of “to stay healthy” or “to make sure everyone’s healthy.” “This is a learned skill for all of us, adults and children,” she told CTV News Channel. “We get trained in medical school how to wear a mask and put them on properly. the same thing we need to do for the public and that includes young children as well.”
