From April 27, children under 14 will be able to go out, as announced by the President of the Government Pedro Sanchez for a short period of time and in a controlled way. It has not announced if it will be mandatory for them to wear masks, as was speculated at the beginning and here we resolve some doubts regarding those of the little ones. At top video you can easily see the importance of wearing them.
For this, age is not specified, although the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States (CDC) warns that children under two years old should not use them due to the risk of suffocation. For this reason, from the health centers they are asking that for the babies and very young children that they have to go out for vaccines or when it is possible in a while, bring mittens or scarves covering the mouth and nose.
For the rest, the Spanish Association for Standardization (UNE) has prepared a document (the UNE 0065 Specification) that establishes in its two parts the minimum requirements that masks must meet hygienic for adults and children in terms of the materials used for its preparation, preparation, marking and use. Among these UNE reports there is a special tutorial for making homemade masks for the little ones, with measures adapted for children from 3 to 12 years old. You can see it here.
Price and where to get them: some websites
In addition to asking if they have stock in your nearest pharmacy. Here are some ways to get them online.
ReSpimask Junior is a facial mask for children from 2.5 to 5 years, is made with Respilon nanofiber technology. Thanks to this technology, the child can breathe easily, so the mask is very comfortable, even for asthmatic children. They also have it for children from 5 to 10 years. Both sizes you can find in the baby’s pharmacy for 3.75 euros.
Right now, Amazon has in stock a wide variety of children’s masks of all kinds of prices and shipping times. You can see it in the following photos:
In Groupon, temporarily, there is also on offer a model of masks for children.
No stock of masks
NOSK Laboratories makes creative masks for the respiratory protection of our boys and girls. Two sizes available for a better adaptation: from 3 to 6 years (9.95 euros) and from 6 to 12 years (14.95 euros). They are currently out of stock, although they will try to replace them as soon as possible.
