State of Calamity - Starting on May 1st

Measures

 

Portugal will return to the state of calamity on the 1st of May, and with that comes new measures that we’ll bring to you in the following paragraphs. We want to highlight that these measures are, for now, only applicable to the municipalities that progress to this state, in which Porto is included:

 

There are fines for non-compliance with the rules.

 

— Restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries (maximum of 6 people inside or 10 in terraces per group) open until 22h30, every day;

 

— Cultural shows until 22h30;

 

— Sports activities and gym classes return;

 

— Reopening of the terrestrial borders (Spain);

 

— Shopping centers open until 21h during the weekdays and until 19h during weekends;

 

— The purchase of alcoholic drinks will last until 21h, but it’s still forbidden to drink them on the streets; 

 

— Beaches will remain with rules of last summer: distancing is very important, and the number of people there will be controlled;

 

— The general duty of staying at home will continue;

 

These measures will be reevaluated often, depending on how the situation evolves. We will bring more news once they are available.
