The Portuguese Directorate-General for Health informs that to date, and following the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO), there are no restrictions on the stay in our country of citizens returning from China, or other affected areas. Further information is available on the DGS website www.dgs.pt
For those welcoming individuals from China and other affected areas, the Directorate-General for Health recalls that, to date, a “screening” is carried out at the departure of the airport of origin. These measures aim to ensure the safety of the citizens and the tranquility of the whole community.
We recommend you to comply with the following hygiene and respiratory etiquette measures:
People returning from China or an affected area should be aware of fever, cough and possible breathing difficulties. If these symptoms appear, you should not go to the health services, but call the SNS24 Helpline - 808 24 24 24, and follow the instructions given. As a rule, isolation of people without symptoms is not recommended.
The evolution of the situation can be followed at www.dgs.pt
