Talked here with David Thomas of Safe Communities Portugal, where we went through the Portuguese government's latest update that includes:

1. Schools, day care centres and universities will suspend all classroom teaching and non-teaching activities in schools at all levels of education as of Monday to at least until April 9, as the measure covers all levels of education, said the prime minister. On that day, the Government re-evaluates whether it reopens educational establishments. However, it should be noted that António Costa said that they would be “face-to-face activities”, which may indicate that schools have the possibility to continue with their teaching activities in another way.

2. Regarding the elderly, the prime minister announced that the limitations on visits to nursing homes are extended to the entire country.

3. Ban on disembarkation of cruises. Except for residents those who arrive from cruises cannot disembark in Portugal, they are only allowed to refuel.

4. Closure of night clubs. For now, and with no date scheduled for reopening, “discos and similar establishments” are closed.

5. The capacity of catering establishments is reduced by one third (in order to have more space between tables, thus reducing the risk of contagion).

6. The capacity of shopping centres and public services is limited – numbers restricted.

*Restrictions can also be created for access to public services, namely by requiring queues to be formed outside and not inside waiting areas.
