We've been made aware that face coverings for babies and very young children are available for sale in England.
Children under the age of three should NOT wear face coverings, as they could cause choking or suffocation.

Guidance is clear that children under the age of three should not wear face coverings or masks, these masks should not be used as they are potentially dangerous and could cause choking and suffocation."
