Kids needs not wear mask below 2 years.
Physical activity is good for children but in the current situation indoors activities is better.
Do not risk children by taking out.
Sunlight is a natural source of Vit D , in the present situation you can supplement vitamins in the diet or give multivitamins.
Covid effect on the mental status and stability is still under debate hence do not take the risk of taking them outside. Teach them to take care of themselves, proper hand wash and hygiene and social distancing.
Kids are good learners and disciplined hence they with adhere to the rules.
