It's a simple thing and you will avoid a lot of problems if everyone uses it."- Sofia, mother of a 6-year-old girl:"I think it will be a little easier but it will not be everything as before yet. There are many things that can happen, some variant that comes ... You never know."Mask: "Here in Portugal it is only compulsory from the age of 10. My daughter is 6 and still wears a mask because last year she was in the United States, the students always wore a mask during the school year and there was no interruption or no case in her class. And she managed to do the entire school year. Therefore I think that it should not only be highly recommended, as the DGS says but also mandatory for all children from 6 years of age "."He always wore it last year and he did not complain, all the students took it, it is just a matter of habit and that the parents do not say" poor children ". They get used to it."
