The members of the Public Security Police, Republican National Guard, Foreigners and Borders Service and ANEPC who are going to carry out these inquiries are those who are in prophylactic isolation and immunosuppressed and those who suffer from chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases .

Three hundred members of the PSP, GNR, SEF and Civil Protection will mobilize to conduct epidemiological surveys of patients with covid-19 and people under active surveillance, the Interior Ministry informed Lusa today.

These 300 elements of the security forces and services and the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority (ANEPC) are part of the group of public servants that will strengthen the capacity of the tracking authorities and public health services to carry out epidemiological surveys in the context of measures to contain the covid-19 pandemic envisaged in the state of emergency.

The order that determines the operation of this reinforcement of the contact tracing of patients with covid-19 and the follow-up of people under active surveillance was published this Wednesday in the Diário de República.

The order establishes that priority, in relation to the rest of public employees assigned to these functions, should be given to professionals of the regulated health professions, holders of a higher education degree or academic title and workers with grade 12 or course equivalent.
