In the first wave, Portugal got off relatively lightly. But now the number of infections is skyrocketing in southwest Europe too. The government decides to make significant cuts, but the Portuguese are spared a strict curfew for the time being. Portugal has announced a partial lockdown in view of the ever faster increase in the number of infections. 70 percent of the approximately 10.3 million citizens of the country would have the “civic duty” to stay at home as of Wednesday, said Prime Minister António Costa after an eight-hour crisis meeting in Lisbon on Saturday evening. The schools should remain open.

It is not a strict curfew, as people are allowed to leave their homes to go to work, to the doctor or to a dependent relative, Costa said. Short walks and visits to restaurants should also be allowed. However, catering businesses are allowed to serve fewer people and have to close earlier. Wherever possible, people should switch to working from home, said Costa. Weekly open-air markets and other market events are prohibited in the future. The new restrictions are to apply in a total of 121 municipalities across the country including Porto and the capital Lisbon. There, the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants exceeded the number of 240 within 14 days. Costa emphasized that the measures were essential to prevent a collapse of the health system. However, the economy must be kept going.

4,656 new infections were registered on Friday, more than ever since the beginning of the pandemic. The number of new infections per 100,000 people within 14 days climbed the national average to 402. In comparison, this value in Germany, calculated over the past seven days, is 104.9. The number of deaths is also rising rapidly, most recently there were 40 people who died with Covid within 24 hours. The federal government warns against unnecessary tourist trips to Portugal. The south of the country, including the Algarve, which is also popular with German holidaymakers, is excluded.
