Hola all,

Correct. I had friends visit me in Portugal in April 2023. They were here for a river cruise on the Douro and several days touring Lisbon. When the returned home after 2 weeks in Portugal, they discovered they had Covid.

There also seem to be a lot of Spanish restaurants that get crowded at the evening meal time, and they don’t try to ensure ventilation. If anyone in the room has Covid, everyone else is going to get it. And there are also pilgrims who readily share that they’re vaccinated, and they seem to think just those initial two shots mean you’re safe and won’t be a carrier. That’s wrong. There are also people coughing and not bothering to cough into their arm, and some who get indignant if you’re wearing a mask, as if that means you think you have it. Please, everyone. Be decent and considerate. Be up to date on vaccinations before you come, wear a mask indoors, and cough into your arm.

Covid is here to stay, so we all need to follow common sense precautions. If you are sick with anything, be it a cold or Covid please be considerate of others and don't sleep in shared spaces, and cover your cough in public.
