"Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children younger than 2 years of age or anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the cover without assistance." 

"In light of the new data about how COVID-19 spreads, along with evidence of widespread COVID-19 illness in communities across the country, CDC recommends that people wear a cloth face covering to cover their nose and mouth in the community setting. This is to protect people around you if you are infected but do not have symptoms."      (  CDC.org  )
