[ ]the CDC guidance on July 23, 2020 does recommend masks for children and staff in school settings, except those under 2 years old, and those with some medical conditions Since wearing masks has been met with controversy, the work of health care professionals (HCPs) is to gain the support of parents, children and school personnel to wear masks during school \'6 Indeed, the scientific evidence from COVID-19 public health measures supports wearing masks as the new norm for all adults and for all children older than 2 years [ ]we believe that wearing masks is an essential component of safe return to school According to reports from the CDC, children who developed MIS-C may have been infected weeks before the appearance of MIS-C symptoms, and/or were symptomatic carriers [ ]based on these presentations of COVID-19 in children, testing strategies for children must be considered on all levels to protect all children, school personnel, and the communities in which they live Screenings to identify problems in physical, emotional, social, and behavioral health are a critical strategy for the design and implementation of effective strategies for healthy children [ ]we encourage all HCPs, including school nurses, to assume a leadership role in the design and implementation of screenings for the identification of children and school personnel who may present with problems that may have arisen during stay-at-home orders (e g , anxiety, school phobia, etc )
