LISBON (Reuters) – Portugal will bring back the stay at home rule in several areas of Greater Lisbon to fight a worrying wave of coronavirus cases on the city’s outskirts, the government announced on Thursday.
Those living in the affected areas – a total of 19 civil parishes that do not include downtown Lisbon – can only leave their homes to buy essential goods, such as food or medication, and to travel to and from work.
