Portugal can leave the UK safe country list starting this week. The hypothesis is proposed by the British press, quoting the travel expert and former BBC journalist Paul Charles, who daily reviews Covid-19 cases around the world.
Given the increase in cases seen in Portugal in recent days – this Friday there were 401 positive cases, one less than on July 7 – the stay in the air corridor with the United Kingdom seems to have its days numbered.
“Unfortunately, Portugal is rapidly returning to the red zone. The Portuguese government is preparing the state of contingency as of September 15. Most likely it will be added to the UK quarantine on September 5. Greece is now amber “. Italy has increasing cases, but still remains in the green “wrote the leader of the tourism consultancy.
