China limits passengers from Portugal to direct flights
People living in Portugal will only be allowed to board direct flights to China, the Chinese embassy said on 16 February.
In a statement, the embassy justified the decision with the "serious and complex" situation of the Covid-19 pandemic in Portugal and the need to avoid "cross-infection in transit.
The embassy will no longer accept applications for the issue of a green health code from permanent residents in Portugal wishing to travel to China via another country.
There is currently only one direct link between China and Portugal, with Chinese airline Beijing Capital Airlines flying between Lisbon and Xi'an, in Shaanxi province, every Thursday and Saturday.
