Since today, there are new rules in Portugal to combat COVID-19.
These rules are valid for 2 weeks, until 23 November.
This set of rules complements the previous ones, but ONLY applies to these 121 municipalities.
This list is dynamic, with the criterion of identifying more than 240 new cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 inhabitants, in the last 14 days.
The Partial Confinement is the rule that will have the biggest impact for the Portuguese, but also for those who visit us.
Although there are several exceptions to this rule, such as short walks close to home, you will not be allowed to go outside between 11.00pm and 5.00am on weekdays and from 13.00 to 5.00 am on weekends.
Other rules implemented:
1 - The possibility of performing body temperature measurements, when accessing:
- Work places;

- Public transport;
- Commercial, cultural and sports spaces.
2 - The possibility of requiring COVID-19 diagnostic tests in the following situations:
- In health facilities.
- In residential structures;
