The Portuguese government ensures that testing capabilities meet demand
Portugal is set to reopen on Monday to UK investors testing coronavirus negativity as the nation extends its national emergency until the end of May, as it continues to recover from the third wave of the pandemic.
This confirmation was only a few after the UK government added Portugal to the “green list” and then added to the “green list” of countries where British citizens can travel from May 17th without the need to quarantine upon return. It will take place in a week.
The Portuguese government confirmed in a statement Friday that British people will be allowed to enter the country from midnight on Monday.
“This decision will revoke important travel restrictions that are in place until May 16th. Anyone entering Portugal will need to perform an RT-PCR test 72 hours before departure in any case,” the statement said. There is.”
The statement also provided a sense of security that it had the right ability to test to meet the needs of tourists, but thousands of people were trained as part of an initiative to keep the country safe. It’s there.

Joan Fernandez, chairman of the Algarve Tourism Commission, told the Guardian that he welcomed the decision. “It’s really important because the UK is our main market and (health) risks have the best pandemic indicators, so there’s no concern about (health) risks,” he said.
“In the past week, there are hotel groups that have seen more bookings than a typical month,” says Elidérico Viegas, president of the association.
“The UK is not just our market, but it is the most important supplier of tourists, and has an air corridor between the UK and Portugal, and between the Algarve, a favourable destination for UK visitors. There is a corridor on the road.
Industry-dependent airlines, and companies like Rolls-Royce, are paying attention to how things unfold in Portugal, hoping for bigger holiday destinations to open.
