Children under two years of age should not wear masks because they make breathing difficult and increase the risk of suffocation, a Japan group doctor said, launching an urgent appeal to the parents as well as the country returns to open from the coronavirus of the crisis.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe lifted the state of emergency in Tokyo and the four remaining areas Monday, after the number of infections fell in Japan, but warned that it could be reimposed if the virus began to spread again.
To prevent the spread of the virus, health experts from all over the world are recommending people wear masks when it is difficult to maintain social distancing as the countries of the restrictions imposed coronavirus to the next stop.
But the Japan Pediatric Association has warned parents that the masks are very risky for the children.
“The masks may make breathing more difficult because babies have narrow air passages,” which increases the load on their hearts, to the association, he said, adding that the masks also increase the risk of heat stroke for them.
“We’re going to stop the use of masks for children under 2 years of age,” the association said in a notice on its web site.
He said that until now there were very few severe coronavirus cases among children and that most children who are infected of the members of the family, with almost no outbreaks in schools or day care centers.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics also say that children under two years of age should not use a fabric for the face covered.
