Portugal imposes a corona emergency state and stricter measures

Despite the very high vaccination rate, people in Portugal have to adjust to tougher Corona measures. The 2G + rule will apply in bars and clubs in the future. Unvaccinated people can continue to visit restaurants and major events with a daily test.

Since Wednesday, the emergency situation, new restrictions and test rules have also been in effect in Portugal. As in Germany, the reason is the increasing number of corona cases. All visitors arriving by air must now show a negative test – even if they have been vaccinated or have recovered. Working from home is “strongly recommended” by the government in Lisbon. In addition, after the end of the year there will be a “week of restraint” with an obligatory home office and closed schools, universities, bars and discos.

Portugal: 2G + and mask requirement in many areas

Since Wednesday, vaccinated and convalescent people, like unvaccinated people, have had to submit a negative PCR or antigen test when visiting bars and discos, hospitals and retirement homes as well as major events without fixed numbered places, reported the newspaper “Público”. In addition to other measures, a general mask requirement applies again in all closed public spaces. The 3G rule applies to visits to restaurants, fitness centers, tourist facilities and events with numbered places.

At 87 percent, Portugal has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, and 11 percent of people have already received a booster vaccination. However, the seven-day incidence has been climbing for many weeks. It was last over 200.
