Current state of play - Covid and post-Brexit

One assumes their parents either didn't know or didn't care what they were doing.

Albufeira beach was fairly busy yesterday I was told.

This is in Albufeira -next to LIDL

Last time I was in that building it was the Wine Festival a couple of years ago - don't know when /if that will happen again

It seems it is now only possible to transmit the contagion after 7pm on Fridays and over the weekend and only when inside a restaurant.  The new rules described in this article apply to Albufeira and as from today. The good news is that, providing you have all the necessary paperwork in order, you may go inside a restaurant on a Friday, Saturday  or Sunday night. Who is going to enforce all this I wonder? Will squads of police be visiting restaurants to check on everyone?

You don't need the paperwork to be able to sit outside.

BTW waterparks have been closed down by government order, except for Zoomarine's educational areas. This ruling is however being challenged in the courts.

The whole country is now at least at high risk level according to the statisticians.

Another new law is that anyone staying in an hotel, guest house or private rental must show either the European Digitial Certificate or a negative test taken no later than 48 hours before arrival.

That should prove interesting as to enforcement, especially at the smaller places where a lot use a remote checkin system with keyboxes.

Mentioned to me yesterday, what happens if you are in restaurant at 645pm on a Friday. Do you have to show your paperwork at 7pm, or be chucked out  before you have finisihed your dinner?

I am looking forward to similar measures being applied when the winter 'flu begins.  We must keep everyone safe, all the time, with no risk to individuals or society as a whole.
