The third phase of deconfinement starts at Midnight on Monday, April 19, 2021. Most stores, classes, cinemas, and theater will open. But a few items will remained closed until the government reviews the state of Covid infections.
My question as always with these remaining closures are can the public be informed on the infection rates when participating in these activities? The Portuguese government should publish these statistics on a public website. This would help inform the public what activities are high risks. If not these are just assumptions not based on data.
What remains closed in Portugal for 3rd phase of confinement?
- Recreational, leisure and pleasurable activities
- Discotheques, bars and dance or party halls (sorry Beleza);
- Circuses;
- Amusement parks and recreational and similar parks for children;
- Water parks;
- Any places for leisure sports, except gyms
