Fox News: Shanina Knighton, an instructor and KL2 Scholar at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, said parents should consider continuing to mask their children in situations in which they’d be “around a lot of children and are in closed settings” to prevent the spread of COVID-19. “Unfortunately people will still cough, sneeze and transmit germs in public indoor settings,” Knighton said. “Masks can provide you some protection against droplets.”
