At a press conference, after the meeting of the Council of Ministers, in Lisbon, the Minister of State and Presidency, Mariana Vieira da Silva, said that in high or very high risk councils there will be a restriction on circulation on public roads "from 11:00 pm until 05:00 am”, explaining that the measure aims to reduce crowds and “there is no exception” related to the presentation of a negative covid-19 test or digital vaccination certificate.

The Government's intention is for the measure to enter into force as soon as possible, saying that this could happen as of 2 July.

Regarding the update of the risk map, Mariana Vieira da Silva informed that the municipalities at very high risk of incidence of covid-19 have increased from three to 19, joining Albufeira, Lisbon and Sesimbra another 16 municipalities that are now giving a step backwards in the plan of ease of lockdown, namely Almada, Amadora, Barreiro, Cascais, Constância, Loulé, Loures, Mafra, Mira, Moita, Odivelas, Oeiras, Olhão, Seixal, Sintra and Sobral de Monte Agraço.

The high risk level applies to municipalities that register, for the second consecutive assessment, an incidence rate above 120 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days (or above 240 if they are municipalities with low population density).

In addition to these 45 municipalities with high or very high risk level of incidence of covid-19, there are 21 municipalities in alert situation: Albergaria-a-Velha, Aveiro, Azambuja, Cartaxo, Bombarral, Idanha-a-Nova, Ílhavo, Lourinhã , Matosinhos, Mourão, Nazaré, Óbidos, Salvaterra de Magos, Santo Tirso, Trancoso, Trofa, Vagos, Viana do Alentejo, Vila Nova de Famalicão, Vila Nova de Gaia and Viseu.
