Apparently, “we” have not been listening to the rules, which has resulted in a huge spike in Covid-19 cases in Portugal. Lisbon is considered to be “Very High & Extremely High Risk”, so instead of enjoying the holidays, we are being subjected to more restrictions during the holiday season starting the 24th of November.

So just be nice and follow the rules, will you? Ok. I preached enough. Here’s the stuff you need to know.
