“Early intervention”, the Portuguese ‘secret’ to contain the coronavirus – Society

The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) considers that the low number of patients with covid-19 in Portugal, compared to other countries, results from “early intervention” by the authorities and reduced importation of cases from abroad.

At a time when the country has already overcome the barrier of 27,000 cases and 1,000 deaths, still well below that registered in other countries in the community, ECDC’s leading specialist for emergency response and operations, Sergio Brusin, says in an interview for Agencia Lusa that “Portugal and other countries in Europe have fewer cases.”

One of the justifications is “the timely implementation of measures, which is something that can greatly reduce the spread,” said the expert, who is one of the most experienced of that body of the European Union (EU).
