Santa Claus is immune to coronavirus and will be able to deliver Christmas presents, the World Health Organisation has reassured children.
Kids were told that Santa and Mrs Claus were doing very well and that Father Christmas was very busy.
The WHO said he will be able to travel in and out of the airspace to deliver presents.
But they warned kids to remember about social distancing.
Dr Maria Van Kerkhove, technical lead on the Covid-19 WHO Health Emergencies Programme, said in a televised statement: "I understand the concern for Santa because he is of older age and of one of the older age groups but I can tell you that Santa Claus is immune to this virus.
"We had a brief chat with him and he is doing very well.
"Mrs Claus is doing very well and they are very busy right now.
"But he is immune.
"And we have heard from a number of leaders across the world who have told us that they have relaxed the quarantine measures for Santa to enter the airspace.
"So he will be able to travel in and out of the airspace and be able to deliver presents to children.
"But I think it is very important that all children of the world understand that physical distancing by Santa Claus and also of the children themselves must be strictly enforced.
"It is really important that the children of the world still listen to their mums and dads and guardians and make sure they go to bed early on Christmas Eve.
"But Santa will be able to travel around the world to deliver presents. "
