Testing ramping up in Lisbon
The Secretary of State for Health, Diogo Serras Lopes, has confirmed the reinforcement of Covid-19 testing in the region of Lisbon and the Tagus Valley, in view of the increased levels of incidence.
“What is going to be done in Lisbon is to reinforce in some way the mechanisms that already exist, in order to be able to test more people and go a little further in the links between people confirmed with covid-19 or who have been in contact with a person who has been confirmed as covid-19. We are well aware that cutting transmission is absolutely essential,” he said.
