"If your child feels hot, remove your mask early" Pediatrician's group August 5, 4:17
As the number of hot days increases every day, schools are taking lessons during the summer vacation to catch up on learning delays due to the effects of the new coronavirus.
A group of pediatricians said the child was at risk of heat stroke and issued a message calling for the child to remove his mask early if he feels the heat.
The Japanese Society of Pediatricians, which is made up of pediatric specialists, presented on April 4 the idea of wearing a mask for children's school life amid concerns over heat stroke.
Among them, when going to and from school, while wearing a mask in crowded places such as buses and trains, if you feel the heat and pain, remove the mask early.
And, in places where there are few people, we will remove the mask.
In addition, when walking outdoors with friends, they don't speak out loud and talk without facing each other.
In the classroom, I don't wear a mask when I don't have a chance to talk during class, and I wear a mask during breaks, but I always remove it when I feel the heat.
The Japan Pediatricians Association says that children often do not show symptoms even if they are infected, so they need a mask to prevent the spread of infection, but it is also important to protect children from the risk of heat stroke. ..
Professor Akihiko Saito of Niigata University, who summarized the message, said, "If you wear a mask, heat does not easily dissipate, so I want the surrounding adults to wear a mask at the right time and be able to rehydrate." Talking
