Dear HIFA and CHIFA colleagues,
WHO has just issued new Advice on the use of masks for children in the community in the context of COVID-19
'Children aged 5 years and under should not be required to wear masks. Decision to use masks for children aged 6-11 should be based on the multiple factors. Children aged 12 and over should wear a mask under the same conditions as adults.'

Best wishes, Neil
