Will masks be required for 2-5 year olds in the fall?

[Anonymous]

My kid is in a NOVA preschool that requires masks for 3-5 year olds. All the kids just put them on and go about their day. If they get dirty or wet, they just give them a clean one and move on.

I will say, I don’t know how/if that would work with 2 year olds. That is so young.

My daycare does not require masks for 2-5. I'm aware of one case in a child. No spread.

Has anyone seen any studies on masked versus unmasked daycare spread? I can't find anything, and I'm curious about the impact.

I know a daycare in Montgomery County where none of the kids wear masks.

I know of several in home daycares in the county that don’t require them either. No covid cases and haven’t been raided by the county health dept yet.
