The number of cases worldwide has surpassed the 200 million mark, with a large number of children now being included in the daily tally, straining pediatric resources and healthcare systems.
According to medical experts, children under the age of 12 who are not yet eligible for vaccination are at high risk for infection by the Delta variant.

President Joe Biden said on August 18th that there are 2 key ways of protecting against COVID-19: “Vaccines are the best defense, but masks are extremely helpful as well. And for those who aren’t eligible for the vaccine yet — children under the age of 12 — masks are the best available protection for them and the adults around them. That’s why we need to make sure children are wearing masks in school.”
Medtecs will continue to expand its product offerings on Amazon to include facemasks in more colors and patterns, isolation gowns, coveralls, and other protective gears for those who demand reliable, top-notch health and safety products.
