Speaking to the Portuguese press, Augusto Santos Silva said there would be no compulsory quarantine for arrivals, but that unspecified health checks would take place. Portugal’s Covid-19 death total is fewer than 1,500 and its UK representative confirmed this would be how its airports will operate.
The country is expected to re-open to some flights in mid-June, when the border with Spain will also open. Hotels are expected to resume operations from the start of the month, with beaches open from 6 June.
