COVID Scenario is Looking Brighter in Portugal

16 April 2021

Portugal has been in lockdown for two months but fortunately such measures were successful, and the country has been opening up for a month now.


Although many European countries are still experiencing severe tightening actions, Portugal is cautiously widening the number of services allowed.

This being said, next Monday the country will move forward to the next phase.

 

Nevertheless, since there are still certain COVID focus points, 4 municipalities will have to go back to the previous phase, 7 will remain in the current one, and the rest of the country will move forward.

 

Attending high school and universities is the measure that will go ahead for all municipalities.

 

A New State of Emergency is entering into force today, 16th April and will last for two weeks. Hopefully, it will be the last.
