When should a child wear a face covering?

Children should wear face coverings in places where they may not be able to avoid staying 6 feet away from others. For example, if you have to take them to the doctor, pharmacy, or grocery store. Children do NOT need to wear a face covering at home assuming they have not been exposed to anyone with COVID-19 or when they are outside as long as they can stay at least 6 feet away from others and can avoid touching surfaces.
