From the fact-check conducted by hibrid.info, it appears that the article in question contains old news, which was published in August 2020. The portal "ingazetaa.com" has given a fabricated title to this article, falsely claiming that the WHO has now issued new recommendations for wearing a mask.
Text of the article published on "ingazetaa.com":
From now on, the WHO changes its recommendations for wearing masks again, here's what you should do

Now the WHO has recommended that in an attempt to control the pandemic, masks should also be worn by children starting from the age of 12.çare. So according to the WHO, children should wear a mask just like adults, at least in cases where following the one-meter distancing rule is not guaranteed. This “change in rules” once again brings back the debate about wearing a mask at a time when the pandemic has taken on global proportions, and all efforts are focused on finding a vaccine as soon as possible, the daily.
