Portugal with 70% of the population fully vaccinated
20 August 2021
With the vaccination in force for children +12, Portugal has seen an acceleration of population vaccinated. The goal of having 70% of the population with two doses was reached and announced on 19th August, by the Minister of Health, Marta Temido.
Although the 70% objective set for September has been already achieved , not all the measures of the 3-phase plan issued by the Portuguese Government in the end of July will be implemented now.
Moving forward from Monday onwards:
- Restaurants and cafes have a maximum limit of 8 people per group inside and 15 people per group on terraces;
- Public transportation without capacity limits;
- Cultural events with 75% capacity;
- Events (namely weddings and baptisms) with 75% capacity.
Pending:
- Public services without prior appointment – active only from the 1st September onwards
- End of mandatory use of mask in public outdoor spaces – it will be pending until discussion at the national Parliament.
The same general rules continue to apply throughout the national territory.
