On the starting line for ‘back to school’, the Ministry of Health and the regional authorities are completing the guide on what the return to classrooms will be like even with the coronavirus present. A situation that leaves the total certainty that masks will continue to be seen in the patios and classes, for which the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) has expanded its catalog of protections. With up to three for children, these change their characteristics and price according to age.
All made in Spain, as the institution has been accustomed to since it released the first masks to improve the protection of the general population, the CSIC has returned to the charge this time in favor of children and the reunion with their friends and teachers.
A situation that the 2020/2021 course was saved with solvency and for which all the authorities want to repeat this time or even improve the success. For this reason, the CSIC hygienic and FFP2 masks, which have different models divided between 6 to 9 years, 9 to 12 years and over 13 years, are vital.
Mask from 6 to 9 years
Hygienic with a viricidal filter, it has a 98% bacterial filtration as well as a 90% aerosol filtration. With a useful life of up to 8 hours, continuous or interrupted, it can be disinfected with 70% alcohol sprays between uses.
Among its main characteristic is that it does not have a nose clip, so it does not fit as well as an adult one, but it is explained by the safety before children. Its measurements are 8.5 x 13.5 centimeters and explain its category of hygienic and non-surgical since it is indicated by the European regulations to which it is subject.
Mask from 9 to 12 years
Also, as the continental authorities point out, it has the same characteristics as the previous one. However, the main difference is in its size, 9 x 14 centimeters, as well as the fact that it does have a nose clip since it is understood that this is no longer dangerous for children from nine years of age.
Mask for over 13 years
Finally, the CSIC has a much more developed mask that already has the full characteristics of an adult except for its size. Size S, it has a useful life of 16 hours, protects 98.9% against aerosols and 98% or more against bacteria even two hours after contact.
Disinfectable like the previous ones, this mask has been designed for physiognomies with a small percentile, to optimize the correct coverage and fit of the mask to the users. In addition, it has nanofiber technology that allows even greater security.
Prices and where to buy them
As is customary at CSIS, all of its masks can be purchased from , the institution’s natural provider for this type of protection.
For their part, these masks can only be purchased in lots of ten units, although with a different price depending on the model. Thus, while those from 6 to 9 years old and those from 9 to 12 years old cost 19.9 euros, those made for people over 13 years old are for 18 euros.
