deconfinement phases begin on May 4

We told you about it a few days ago in an articleThe government has just announced the schedule for deconfliction, which should hopefully begin on May 4.

How will the decontamination phases work in Portugal?

Le 4 mai sera la première date du calendrier de déconfinement au Portugal. Il n’y aura plus d’état d’urgence à compter de ce soir, le Portugal devrait passer en état de calamité, en maintenant des restrictions à la circulation des personnes et les personnes n’ayant pas d’activité professionnelle (retraité, étudiants, chômeur …) devront rester en confinement.

Si le déconfinement se passe correctement et que le gouvernement ne constate pas une reprise à la hausse des cas de Covid-19, des le 1er juin le pays pourra atteindre un niveau d’activité proche de ce qu’il avant l’arrivée du virus au Portugal.

Dans cette première phase du 4 mai, seuls certains magasins qui ont été contraints de fermer avec l’état d’urgence, promulgué pour la première fois le 19 mars par le président de la République pourrons rouvrir.

The following companies will be able to open their doors, but all customers must wear masks
