The Government has decided to go ahead with stricter rules, at a time when daily cases of COVID-19 and deaths associated with this pandemic are increasing significantly. Portugal currently has more than 60,000 infected people and has had, during the last seven days, around 25,000 new cases of covid-19.
The new measures are part of the calamity that is now renewed and that will be in force until 11:59 pm on November 15, 2020.

Are the restrictions the same for the whole country?

The choice of this & quot; partial confinement & quot; A rule is followed: counties where there were more than 240 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days, as well as some counties that, not above that value, are? islands? in all the municipalities that surround them.

Yes, teleworking is mandatory, regardless of the employment relationship you have with the company and as long as the functions in question allow it.

The Government has not yet clarified what reasons can be invoked for the worker not to adopt the teleworking regime and how to present this justification.

Can the employer force me to go to the company and not stay working remotely?
There is still no specific legislation published in this regard, but a draft law that was sent to the social partners, and to which the press had access, establishes that in this case the employer’s refusal to telework must be substantiated and informed to the worker written.
? Exceptionally, when the employer considers that the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph are not met, the worker must inform the worker of his decision, rightly and in writing, and demonstrate that the functions in question are not compatible with the teleworking or the lack of minimum technical conditions for its implementation ”, reads the document referred to which the Lusat agency had access to.
What do companies whose activities can only be carried out in person?
For companies with more than 50 workers and who cannot apply teleworking because the activity involves face-to-face work, they are obliged to apply the time lag to avoid crossings and crowds of workers. (This obligation was already in force only for the Lisbon and Porto regions. Now it extends to 121 municipalities that are, as of this Wednesday, November 4, in? Partial confinement?)
