Children will not have to wear protective masks in kindergartens. This is stated in the Guidelines for training and action in the event of an emergency epidemic situation in kindergartens, published by the Ministry of Education. 
Teachers and non-teaching professionals are required to wear masks in the common indoor areas of the building and when exceptionally working with more than one group of children. 
In school buses, masks are mandatory for adults, and for children, the judgment of parents is crucial. 
The requirement remains that only kindergartens with 100% vaccinated staff or staff members who have already had Covid-19 can work in the area in areas in the dark red zone with more than 500 infections per 100,000 people. Only children whose parents meet the same conditions or work on the first line will be accepted.
