Portugal taking controlled risk in receiving British tourists The high vaccination rate in the United Kingdom and the mandatory negative test for Covid-19 on arrival allow Portugal to take the controlled risk of receiving British citizens, health experts said on 19 May. We have to take a risk. This risk, from the UK side, is minimised by the high rate of vaccination coverage and by carrying out a PCR test upon arrival in Portugal. We also have conditions that are favourable, as the fact that we have the population with higher risk properly vaccinated, said the pulmonologist Filipe Froes. According to the coordinator of the crisis cabinet Covid-19 of the Portuguese Medical Association, this does not prevent, however, the possible dissemination of the variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus associated with India and that is registering an increasing prevalence in the number of cases of the disease in the United Kingdom.
