Rossen Reports: Here are the must-have masks for kids
Many schools are back in session, and others are starting up soon.
No matter what state, city, or school district you바카라 게임 웹사이트re in, the CDC says kids should be in masks. You probably have a ton you바카라 게임 웹사이트ve collected for your kids over the last year 바카라 게임 웹사이트 but not all masks are created equal. A mask might look good, but it might not be as protective as you think.
Here are a few guidelines parents should follow when picking out masks for kids, from the CDC:
- Face masks should fit snugly and comfortably. You don바카라 게임 웹사이트t want gaps on the nose or the cheeks.
Tip: Masks that have a metal piece inside are a perfect way to make sure the gap on the bridge of the nose is closed.
- Masks must be secured with ties or ear loops.
Tip: Gaiters and bandanas are not ideal. Look for masks that have adjustable ear loops to guarantee a good fit.
- They should have multiple layers.
Tip: The packaging on the masks will tell you if it has multiple layers. For cloth masks, you should have at least two layers.
Test it: Stretch your mask and hold it to the sun. If you can see little holes or specks of light, that mask is not protective.
- You should be able to breathe without restriction while wearing it.
Tip: Vinyl makes it hard to breathe, so avoid masks of that material.
- You should be able to wash face masks without causing damage or losing the mask바카라 게임 웹사이트s shape.
Tip: If the mask rips or loses its shape, it바카라 게임 웹사이트s not protective anymore. Reusable masks should be washed whenever it gets dirty or at least daily. Masks made for kids are now coming with mesh bags that you can put in the washer.

Here바카라 게임 웹사이트s another great tip from Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Rajeev Fernando. He says, the best and most protective mask you can give your kids is the one that they바카라 게임 웹사이트ll keep on all day. "Give your kids options. Make sure the masks they바카라 게임 웹사이트re choosing from meet all of the criteria, but at the end of the day, they바카라 게임 웹사이트ll wear whatever is comfortable and whatever is stylish to them. So keep that in mind when you바카라 게임 웹사이트re buying these masks." Dr. Fernando says. He also had a great idea to tell your kids their mask is a part of their costume for the day. They바카라 게임 웹사이트ll think of it as a fun accessory rather than something they "have to wear."
