For children under 12, the mask can be a source of infection.
The statement came from adviser to the Minister Rustam Agayev, Gadin.Net reports.
He said that the WHO reported about it:
"There are very few infections among children," he said. In the United States, the rate of coronavirus infection in children in July was two percent. For this reason, the WHO recommends that children over the age of 12 wear masks.
Based on this, we consider it appropriate for students over the age of 12 to wear masks in schools. ”
