Negative COVID test, vaccination required to stay in Portuguese hotels

Those staying at Portuguese hotels must show a negative coronavirus test, a vaccination certificate or proof of recovery, the government said on Thursday, as it scrambles to bring under control a worrying spike in infections.

Those wanting to dine indoors in restaurants in municipalities where the risk of COVID-19 transmission is high must also present a negative test, vaccination or recovery proof on Friday evenings and at the weekend, cabinet minister Mariana Vieira da Silva said at a press conference.
