Tomorrow the government will be meeting with drugs watchdog Infarmed to weigh up the current pandemic situation.

Parliament meets again on Wednesday to discuss a possible renewal of the State of Emergency.

The next phase of the easing out of lockdown is pencilled in for next Monday, when, all being well, secondary schools and universities will reopen, along with the likes of cinemas, theatres, restaurants and cafes.

Will these idiots have the courage to lockdown the population yet another time for a virus that has a 0.07% mortality rate ?

The weekend lockdown makes absolutely no sense, let people go out with masks on and let restaurants open up.
I live in Connecticut USA we never had a lockdown and our Covid cases have been dropping since Christmas. The portuguese government is ruining the economy and many establishments will go out of business, sad situation on my opinion.
