After the coronavirus lockdown in Portugal has ended we now see the country opening up step by step according to the masterplan made by the Portuguese government. It was announced by several airlines that they will start flying to Portugal again from mid-June while others are starting again in July. It means that Portugal is ready just in time to start receiving summer visitors. In preparation for your visit to Portugal it is good to know what the rules in Portugal are in public areas, such as supermarkets and restaurants, but also when you enter public transport or when doing a property viewing with your real estate agent. What can you expect and what is expected from you?
What are the new general rules against COVID-19 in Portugal?
Just like any other country Portugal also has the basic rules of staying at home when not feeling well, sneezing and coughing should be done into the elbow and social contact has to be avoided. Besides these basic rules there are some additional measures that have been specifically chosen by the Portuguese government to maintain the low number of infections. The country has been appraised all over the world about how well and accurate they dealt at the start of this pandemic and of course, the Portuguese government and its citizens want to do all they can to maintain those low numbers.
