Almost untouched by covid-19 in recent months, the Algarve is one of the safest destinations in Europe with 8 times fewer severe cases per million inhabitants than hard-hit countries like Belgium.
Quarantine: No.
Test required: Yes. Flights between Portugal and other destinations are only permitted for essential travel.

Why not just hold off for a while. I think over the next couple of months the scamdemic will start to evaporate, as the plan moves into action. Already noticed that the dems are starting talking about lifting restrictions on restaurants in US cities.
.While populations in France, Austria and Germany are being told to use either professional FFP1 or FFP2 ‘dust masks’, advice to Portuguese citizens remains ‘the same’ – and the nation’s experts share different opinions on the best way forwards.
Says Observador, there are those that advise the use of two masks at once, others suggest FFP2 masks and some stick with recommendations that currently exist (that citizens can wear cloth masks that comply with the indications of ASAE health & safety entity, and surgical masks.
But “all agree that it is necessary to comply better with the rules”, says the online – meaning physical distancing remains key.
The overriding reason for not making professional masks compulsory in Portugal is that they “should be reserved for health professionals in daily contact with cases of Covid-19”.
Supply also would not cover the wider public – and that’s before one considers the cost factor: these masks cost over €10 each and are not reusable
Virologist Celso Cunha has told Observador that the British variant “infects masks more easily, multiples better and originates greater viral loads”.
In his opinion, “if we can increase the efficiency of the barriers we use for our respiratory passages, in the uncertainty of why the virus is more transmissible, then that is what we should be doing…”

Assessing Mandatory Stay‐at‐Home and Business Closure Effects on the Spread of COVID‐19
Background and Aims
The most restrictive non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) for controlling the spread of COVID‐19 are mandatory stay‐at‐home and business closures. Given the consequences of these policies, it is important to assess their effects. We evaluate the effects on epidemic case growth of more restrictive NPIs (mrNPIs), above and beyond those of less restrictive NPIs (lrNPIs).
Methods
We first estimate COVID‐19 case growth in relation to any NPI implementation in subnational regions of 10 countries: England, France, Germany, Iran, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, and the US. Using first‐difference models with fixed effects, we isolate the effects of mrNPIs by subtracting the combined effects of lrNPIs and epidemic dynamics from all NPIs. We use case growth in Sweden and South Korea, two countries that did not implement mandatory stay‐at‐home and business closures, as comparison countries for the other 8 countries (16 total comparisons).
Results
Implementing any NPIs was associated with significant reductions in case growth in 9 out of 10 study countries, including South Korea and Sweden that implemented only lrNPIs (Spain had a non‐significant effect). After subtracting the epidemic and lrNPI effects, we find no clear, significant beneficial effect of mrNPIs on case growth in any country. In France, e.g., the effect of mrNPIs was +7% (95CI ‐5%‐19%) when compared with Sweden, and +13% (‐12%‐38%) when compared with South Korea (positive means pro‐contagion). The 95% confidence intervals excluded 30% declines in all 16 comparisons and 15% declines in 11/16 comparisons.
Conclusions
While small benefits cannot be excluded, we do not find significant benefits on case growth of more restrictive NPIs. Similar reductions in case growth may be achievable with less restrictive interventions

The liberal mainstream media can’t hide this truth from the American public forever.
The latest international testing of hydroxychloroquine treatment of coronavirus shows countries that had early use of the drug had a 79% lower mortality rate than countries that banned the use of the safe malaria drug.
This means that Dr. Fauci, Dr. Birx, the CDC, the liberal fake news media and the tech giants have been pushing a lie that has had deadly consequences!...

22 cases of Covid-19 detected in Monchique old people’s home… two days after residents receive vaccine
All are asymptomatic and in isolation in a wing at the facility thanks to “the perfect articulation of health authorities and staff of Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Monchique”.
Today the mayor tells us the seniors are “in good spirits and much more tranquil than they were yesterday” (when they received the shock news of proving positive after weeks in which every single periodic test had come back negative).
Explained further down the mayor’s Facebook post was that the elderly residents had received their first shots of vaccine only two days previously.
Locals hearing these details wonder whether the positive results could be more connected to receiving the vaccine.
“This sounds like a case of putting the cart before the horse”, said one. “Having been vaccinated they would be developing antibodies which might cause a positive test…”
Another wrote into us to say: “You could almost see this coming. Last week the news was how low cases were in Monchique. Now suddenly a whole bunch of people are tested in a home where they have all been vaccinated, and 19 residents and three members of staff are positive! It seems very strange”.
According to Mayor André the decision to test yesterday followed a member of staff feeling unwell, taking a test herself and proving positive.
“We only got (her) test result after the vaccinations”, he said.
The member of staff herself has not been vaccinated, said the mayor, because “she has a chronic disease, and has to have the vaccine later”.
This adds another twist to the story: a member of staff with a chronic disease who can’t be vaccinated at the same time as centenarian residents.
For the time being, it is what it is – meaning ‘squeaky clean Monchique’ (in terms of Covid infections) is now another borough in the country with elevated incidence of the virus.
Six new cases were flagged on Wednesday, taking the total now for the borough since the start of the pandemic to 79, of which 50 have recovered, 28 are ‘active’ and one (an elderly person with compound morbidities) sadly died some months ago.
This is a stunner.
And it’s 100% true.
Even confirmed by CNN of all places.
Merck halting all work on its COVID vaccine….
