The Minister of the Presidency has announced that there are no conditions to continue the easing of lockdown plan in Portugal, taking into account that the country is “clearly in the red zone” of the pandemic control risk matrix.
“Portugal is, at this moment, clearly in the red zone of our matrix, so there are no conditions to continue the planned easing of lockdown plan”, said Mariana Vieira da Silva, at the end of the Council of Ministers.
According to her, the incidence of new cases of infection per 100,000 inhabitants is currently at 129.6 and the virus transmissibility index (Rt) at 1.18 in continental territory.
