I hand out respirator/breatheteq masks to my patients to help them reduce their risk of getting COVID and Long COVID. Here's the letter I've put together about this for parents about children masking. @longcovidresource.bsky.social @longcovidadvoc.com @longcovidkids.bsky.social #longcovid
Letter with different typeface colours entitled, "Preventing Long COVID in Children".  Text as follows:

As described by the Public Health Agency of Canada1,
Long COVID (also known as post-COVID-19 condition) affects children as well as adults.
- It’s long-lasting symptoms after a known or unknown COVID infection.  
- The most common Long COVID symptoms in children are:
Fatigue
Headache
Abdominal pain
Sleep problems
Shortness of breath
Cognitive problems (difficulty thinking or concentrating)
Muscle aches and joint pains

I care for children with Long COVID.  It can interfere with their social, physical and educational development.  You do not want your child to develop Long COVID.

While there are some promising therapies, there is no clear cure for Long COVID.

The best way to prevent Long COVID is to prevent COVID infections.
Since COVID is airborne, the best way to prevent COVID infections is to wear respirator-type masks (like N95s) all the time indoors.  This is why I’m giving you this mask for your child to wear.  I personally purchased these to hand out to my patients.  This is how important it is to me, as your child’s doctor, for your child to mask: to protect their health.

I know there will be times at school and other places where your child will want to remove their mask.  Wearing a mask as much as possible in public indoor spaces will greatly reduce your child’s risk of getting COVID, which will reduce their risk of developing Long COVID.  If they wear it 90% of the time, that’s still a huge win and way better than wearing it only 20% of the time, or not at all.

>  Key tip: shape the curve of the nose piece first, then put the mask on.

1 Post COVID-19 condition (long COVID): Symptoms and treatment. Public Health Agency of Canada.        8 January 2026.  Accessed online at https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection/symptoms/post-covid-19-condition.html

Deux dessins représentant une tête portant un masque. À gauche, la personne porte un masque chirurgical. Plein de particules colorées en jaune s'échappent devant ses yeux et un peu par les joues. Des particules rouges restent coincées entre le nez et la bouche. Sur le deuxième dessin, la personne porte un masque FFP2. Aucune particule ne s'échappe.

COUVERTURE:
Au premier plan, une personne noire débarrasse de la vaisselle en jetant un coup d’œil à deux adultes blancs qui parlent alors qu’un de leurs enfants éternue. 

L’air circule et tourbillonne autour d’elleux, éclabousse le visage de l’adulte qui écoute et forme des émanations qui remplissent le reste de l’arrière-plan.

Lae serveureuse a un badge disant « service avec le sourire » même si sa bouche est couverte par un masque FFP2. 

Écrit à la main en gros en haut de page, les mots « POURQUOI SE MASQUER » sont sur un fond noir. Sur les émanations il est écrit « CE N’EST PAS » puis avec des guillemets « JUSTE UN RHUME ». 

Dans le quart inférieur droit, il est écrit « Laurel Lynn Leake » au-dessus d’un large « 2026 ».
