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."

This week marks one month since the ground shook under southern Turkey and northern Syria. The 7.8 magnitude earthquake and subsequent aftershocks killed over 50,000 people, making it one of the deadliest quakes worldwide in the past century. Entire cities were flattened and millions of people were made homeless. But Turkey is nonetheless scheduled to go to the polls in two months' time. To discuss the political fallout of the quake and its potential impact on the election, we speak to our Ankara correspondent Jasper Mortimer.
