Portuguese authorities are maintaining light-touch nationwide domestic COVID-19 restrictions as of August 25th. Bars and restaurants can remain open until 02:00. Parties of up to eight people are permitted indoors, with a maximum of 15 people outdoors. Most businesses and services operate subject to hygiene and social distancing requirements, though evidence of vaccination against or recovery from COVID-19 or a recent negative COVID-19 test is required to access some facilities, including inside restaurants on weekends and mass events. Facemasks remain mandatory in enclosed public spaces and crowded outdoor spaces. People are advised to work from home where possible.
