Face Masks For Children
Face masks are a valuable tool to protect kids from the pandemic Pexels

Keeping your family safe from the threat of COVID-19 has never been more challenging. Moreso in the case of your young ones at home. Though their risk of getting infected is not as high as those of older adults, physician Dr. Deborah Gilboa told Today that kids are more likely to spread the virus, and thus have to wear face masks as often as possible.

In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently advised children aged two years old and above to wear face coverings "when in public settings" to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. Together with social distancing, handwashing and avoiding sick people, this ensures that the spread of the virus is reduced, all while keeping kids healthy all day. From disposable to reusable masks, these face masks below are confirmed by doctors to keep your kids safe from COVID-19:
