Because children between the ages of two and 12 years of age can have challenges wearing a mask, face shield or face covering properly (e.g., excessively touching the face covering, not changing the face covering if visibly soiled, risk of strangulation or suffocation, etc.) it is urged that if masks, face shields or face coverings are worn by this age group, that they be worn with the assis- tance and close supervision of an adult. Masks, face shields or face coverings should never be worn by children when sleep- ing. The use of mask, face shield, or face covering may be option- al if six feet or more of distance is maintained from others. Otherwise, it is recommended to wear mask, face shield or face covering in public settings where physical distancing can- not be maintained. There may be mask, face shield and face covering re- quirements and recommen- dations that apply to other businesses not listed in this guidance.
