There is no evidence to support that wearing a face mask will protect you from COVID-19. You should still avoid touching your face, washing your hands frequently for 20 seconds using warm water and soap and practice social distancing.

The science around the COVID-19 pandemic continues to change rapidly.

In April, Canada's Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam suggested Canadians wear a face mask to help cut down on transmission from those who are infected by the novel coronavirus but are asymptomatic (showing no symptoms) or presymptomatic — especially in situations where maintaining proper physical distance from others isn't possible, like shopping in-store for groceries or riding public transit.

As parks and businesses slowly re-open, the demand and searches for reusable face masks continue to spike globally — this includes smaller sizes for kids. Luckily, online shoppers have plenty of colourful and fun options for buying reusable face masks with more and more brands recognizing the woes of family masks needs. But aside from finding the right size for your children, here are a couple of things to consider before adding stocking up on masks.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, users are strongly advised to use non-surgical face masks with proper care:

• Non-surgical/cloth face coverings should be washed routinely, depending on frequent use.

• Sterilize and clean non-surgical/cloth face coverings through the washing machine.

• Individuals should be careful not to touch their eyes, nose, and mouth when removing their face covering and wash hands immediately after removing.

• Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
