Coronavirus pandemic: World health organization instruct children between the age of 12 and over should wear masks The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued guidance saying children over the age of 12 should wear masks, in line with recommended practice for adults in their country or area. It admits little is known about how children transmit the virus but cites evidence that teenagers can infect others in the same way as adults. Children aged five and under should not normally wear masks, the WHO said. More than 800,000 people have now died with coronavirus worldwide.
