I've heard two different versions, I don't worry, I'm the only one here so while cleaning surfaces is important, it's not something I get carried away.

I never see one. Even little children have masks. I saw the cutest little boy in a bright orange Halloween mask. I can just see the dad telling him, if you behave very well, you can wear your orange mask early.
