Some restrictions to be eased from June 14th

Taken from local media

Starting from June 14:

• Restaurants and cafés, with seating plans as currently exist, can remain open till midnight for ‘admission’ and 1am for closure;
• Shops can return to their normal working hours;
• Public transports with ‘seating only’  can return to full capacity; 
• Public transports with seating AND standing places, can run at ⅔ capacity;
• Theatres/ cultural performances can run till midnight – with 50% capacity in auditoria;
• Outdoor events can take place with ‘marked placings’ for members of the audience and under DGS guidelines;
• Sporting events can return with 33% capacity;
• Weddings and baptisms can be held with 50% capacity.

From June 28 there will be further ‘easing’ of restrictions on sporting events; public transports will finally be able to return to running at ‘full capacity’ and Citizens’ Shops (Lojas de Cidadão) will return to be accessible without prior appointment.

But a big blow to tourists - bars, nightclubs etc will still not be permitted to open.

I have yet to find this confirmed or otherwise in local media.

Albufeira is however on 'alert' (along with Loulé) which seems to mean that should the numbers continue to increase, the town will fall back to the restrictions lifted only last week.

All this mucking about is getting nowhere. ALL restaurants, bars etc should be closed down permanently until there are zero cases recorded, even if it takes two years. People should be confined to their homes except to go to work, school or go shopping. All travel must be banned.
