The alternation between north and south continues: the third municipality with the highest risk index is Sernancelhe (140.87), the fourth is Odivelas (129.79). It is necessary to reach the fifth place to find a municipality of Alentejo. Reguengos de Monsaraz (123.24), along with Mora (121.48), are the only two that do not belong to the ARS of Lisbon and Vale do Tejo or the North in the top 10.
As for the ARS, two stand out since the beginning of the pandemic and have disputed, among themselves, the highest level of risk. Currently, the Lisbon and Tagus Valley region occupies the first place with 66.99 points. The North has 56.26.
The difference for the third place is considerable – the ARS do Algarve with an index of 28.51 – and it is even greater if the areas with lower risk, Madeira (7.75) and the Azores (3.70) are analyzed. In the archipelagos, the risk index has remained stable (and low) throughout the pandemic, with much less marked growth than in the rest of the country.
At the beginning of the pandemic, in the last days of March, the ARS do Norte stood out, and much, from all the other administrative health regions. It was in June that the difference between Lisbon and the Tagus Valley began to blur. As of July 15, the south took the lead and did not lose it again.
By moving away and moving from the micro to the macro vision, Portugal, as a group of municipalities, currently has a risk index of 51.88 and an infection rate of 0.74%.
Looking at the analysis tables, there is an exact date for when the pandemic changed the mobility of the Portuguese: March 12. Since then, everything has changed and is far from returning to normal: commerce and entertainment, workplaces and public transport are the most suffered.
The percentage of time that the Portuguese spend in their residential area remains high, compared to the benchmark, and is currently 6% higher than usual. While the rest of the categories measure the change in the number of visitors, this reveals the time spent at home, even on weekdays it will be high, since they also have hours of sleep. On October 5, a national holiday, the Portuguese spent, for example, 20% more of their time at home, more than on the last counted day, October 9, with that 6%. At the peak of the feedlot, the highest value (46% above the reference value) was reached on April 10. Other peaks that can be seen in the graphs correspond to holidays such as February 25 (carnival) or May 1.
Above, and much of the reference value, is the number of visitors to the parks, which is currently 15%. If at its lowest point in the fall, on April 5, it reached -88%, during the summer months it was well above the benchmark. This can be explained not only by the good weather, but also by the impossibility of visiting other places during leisure hours, as they have stricter safety regulations.
