From May 4 - Portugal announced a sector-by-sector plan to gradually lift lockdown measures

Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa announced a sector-by-sector plan to gradually lift lockdown measures imposed 6 weeks ago to combat COVID-19.


“Starting on May 4, the three-phase plan will open up different sectors of the economy every 15 days, starting with small neighbourhood shops, hairdressers, car dealerships and bookshops. We know this process has risks. We know that as we open up various activities, the risk of transmission will increase.


I will never be ashamed to take a step back if necessary for the safety of the Portuguese”, - said Costa.


Portugal reported 25 045 confirmed cases of coronavirus and 989 deaths.
