  Yes. There are guidelines for Covid management in children below 18 years of age.

  Recently, the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) released the news guidelines for Covid-related tests and medication to be followed in the case of children. According to the new guidelines:

  • Children aged 5 years or less are not required to wear masks.
  • Children belonging to the age group of 6-11 years may wear a mask depending on their ability to use it safely and appropriately. However, they must use the masks under the direct supervision of parents or guardians.
  • Children aged 12-17 years should wear the masks the same way as adults.

  Moreover, the guidelines emphasize the need to wash hands with soap and water and keep clean or an alcohol-based hand rub while handling masks.
