Yes, it is a good idea to cover the molluscum contagiosum bumps to reduce the risk of spreading the virus to others. However, make sure that the clothing or bandage covering the bumps does not come into contact with other children, as this could still potentially transmit the virus. Covering the bumps with a bandage could theoretically help reduce the risk of contagion, especially if the bumps are not too widespread on the skin.
