Campsites and motorhome service areas in the country should be operational and reopen within a week, the federation and association representing these activities announced today, in the process of adapting.

According to a statement sent to the Lusa agency by the FCMP – Federation of Camping and Mountaineering of Portugal and APCAA – Association of Camping Sites in the Alentejo and Algarve, “a physical and formative adaptation is taking place in the places”, so “no immediate reopening should be possible “.

Camping and caravan sites, as well as motorhome service areas, may reopen on Monday, with a maximum capacity of two-thirds of their total capacity, as announced by the government on Friday.

The measure was approved by the Council of Ministers, within the scope of the new phase of deflation that begins on Monday, in the context of the 19-covid pandemic.

However, both the FCMP and the APCAA today indicate that the opening should only happen a week from now, “due to the different realities existing in the national territory and the constraints now imposed”, for the “requalification of spaces for common use, adopting the new mechanisms to control the necessary entries and the application of all security rules “.

In the statement, the two entities indicate that they have prepared a good practice guide for campsites, based on the recommendations of the Directorate-General for Health, “which is awaiting approval from this entity, with a view to clarifying and standardizing safety procedures. to observe during this new phase of deflation “.

They also state that, as a way of “reinforcing confidence in the use of camping sites and service areas for motorhomes”, Turismo de Portugal will make available the attribution of the “Clean & Safe” seal, through the National Register of Tourist Enterprises, to campsites, or via the FCMP platform to service areas for motorhomes.

This certification, “requires the implementation of an internal protocol that ensures the hygiene and social distance measures to combat the risks of contagion from Covid-19, thus guaranteeing the best safety conditions for the operation” of these services.

The FCMP and APCAA call on users to wait for the information given by each entity, regarding the date of its reopening, “so that it occurs in the best possible way, guaranteeing that there will be no reason for a setback in the fight against the pandemic that must be done for all and for all “.

On Friday, in a statement, the Ministry of Economy said that the “Clean & Safe” label has already joined more than 4,000 companies in the tourism sector.

The seal, which is 100% digital, free and valid until April 30, 2021, requires the implementation of an internal protocol that, according to the recommendations of the Directorate-General for Health, must ensure social distance and the necessary hygiene for avoid risks of contagion and ensure safe procedures for the operation of tourist activities.

Within the scope of the declaration of the state of emergency in Portugal, to combat the covid-19 pandemic, the Government had defined until March 27 the deadline for users to leave the campsites and caravan parks, while the permanent residents in these establishments tourists were able to stay in them to ensure the response to housing needs.

At the time, Secretary of State Rita Marques told Lusa that the closure of campsites and caravan sites was taking place “in an orderly and peaceful manner”, underlining the return of foreign tourists to their countries of origin.

António Costa said this evening, at the end of the Council of Ministers meeting that the results of the first measures of de- confinement, taken 15 days ago, were positive in combating the spread of covid-19, there being no reason to postpone a further step in the reopening of activities.

According to the Prime Minister, given the data on the evolution of the pandemic, the government concluded that “the first containment measures taken 15 days ago, which came into effect at the beginning of this month, did not alter the control trend” of the new coronavirus.

“In view of these developments, there is no reason for us to delay, backtrack or postpone any of the measures that we had planned to enter into force next Monday. On the contrary, just as 15 days ago, we still have a robust system of testing capacity. We are now, after Lithuania, Cyprus and Denmark, the fourth country in Europe with the highest number of tests carried out by a million inhabitants,” said the head of government.

Among the measures approved by the Council of Ministers is the extension of the state of calamity until 31 May, “continuing the process of de-confinement that began on 30 April, without calling into question the evolution of the epidemiological situation in Portugal”, reads the communiqué.

The Prime Minister announced new rules for the de-confinement period.

 

Beaches

About beaches, António Costa stressed that users must ensure a physical distance of 1.5 meters between different groups and a distance of three meters between sun hats, awnings or thatched umbrellas, from June 6.

According to the deconfinement plan divulged after the Council of Ministers, during the bathing season, in the use of the beach sands there are “forbidden sports activities with two or more people, except nautical activities, surf lessons and similar sports”.

In the awnings, thatched umbrellas and beach huts, “as a rule, each person or group can only rent in the morning (until 13h30) or afternoon (from 14h00)”, with a maximum of five users.

The Infopraia application is already available, which citizens can access before going to the beach and see if the destination beach is red (full and not advisable), yellow (almost full) or green (accessible). “You can download it now,” challenged the Prime Minister.

“We can’t have security officers on every beach saying that the beach is crowded” and if the respect for others is not confirmed, the Government admits closing beaches.

Commercial Spaces

“A fortnight ago we opened the small shops and announced that we could take a new step. That’s what’s going to happen”, the Prime Minister declares, thus confirming the second phase of deconfinement, with the opening of more commercial spaces, including restaurants, cafés and pastry shops. Left out of the reopening are bars and discos.

However, the required sanitary rules, namely the limitation of capacity, are maintained. “I understand that it is strongly restrictive of catering and its activity. We want the conditions to be created so that from June onwards we can take a step forward and take away this limitation on capacity, maintaining a distance and friendly protection,” he says.

 

Cafes, pastry shops and restaurants

Restaurants can also reopen on Monday. But with some restrictions.

• The capacity of the spaces should be reduced by 50 percent.
• Masks are mandatory for all staff in cafes and restaurants.
• The layout of tables and chairs must ensure a distance of at least two metres between people. At the same table, people can sit facing each other or side by side.
• The opening hours are reduced. Cafes and restaurants can only operate until 23h00.

• At the entrance and exit of the establishment, customers must disinfect their hands. They must also use a mask, except during the meal period.

Nursing Homes

The Chief Executive also announced that from Monday visits to nursing homes by relatives will resume, although still with restrictions on the number of people and maintaining the rules of social distance.

“From Monday it will be possible to resume visits to homes by relatives,” announced António Costa, adding that the restriction on these visits “was one of the most difficult decisions” taken by the executive.

Schools

11th and 12th grade students return to face-to-face classes on Monday. The return applies only to subjects subject to exams. The use of masks in schools is compulsory and social distance must be respected.

Students who do not attend classes in person, at the option of their parents, have justified absences. In this case, the school is only obliged to guarantee distance learning to groups at risk.

The reopening requires new security measures. In classrooms, there must be an exclusive desk for each student, who cannot face another colleague. The break times must be as short as possible and within the classrooms.

Classes take place from 10h00 to 17h00 and students will be divided into two shifts: one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Day care centers

António Costa recognises that “it’s a particularly sensitive issue, for families who need day cares to open so they can return to work, for parents who are concerned about their children’s safety and for those who work in the day cares”.

The Prime Minister says that 80% of day care staff have been tested, but he points out that at least until the end of the month the Government keeps financially supporting parents who decide to continue at home with their children.

• A distance of between one and a half and two metres between the children inside the rooms, during meals and naps is planned.
• Professionals should wear a mask, but not the children.
• It is also recommended that close contact with the children be reduced to the indispensable.
• In the rooms where the children are sitting on the floor, the shoes should be left at the door.
• Professionals should also ensure, whenever possible, that children do not share objects.

Teleworking

For António Costa, the end of the compulsory teleworking should not be the end of this distance working option. “On the contrary,” he says. The Prime Minister says that this de- confinement should always be coordinated, so that workers are not all in their workplaces at the same time and repeats that this is a training of what will have to be a new lifestyle until vaccines

The resources to fight forest fires will be strengthened starting today, in a year in which the great challenge is the pandemic of invite-19, and it is necessary to reconcile the response to fires with health security .

The National Operational Directive (DON), which establishes the special rural fire-fighting device (DECIR) for this year, indicates that, between today and May 31, the reinforcement of resources is at level II, the first additional increase in year.

During this period, 8,402 operatives will be available, comprising the 1,945 teams and 1,968 vehicles of the various agents present in the field, in addition to air means, which will be a maximum of 37.

Among the means, DON foresees, for this period, about 3105 elements belonging to voluntary firefighters, 228 operatives of the Special Firefighters Force and 2,200 of the GNR, which includes forest guards, in addition to the almost 3,000 forest sappers.

Within the scope of DECIR, the National Watchtower Network has been in operation since May 7, comprising 77 watchtowers to prevent and detect fires.

The fire season this year has the “great challenge” in reconciling the response to the covid-19 pandemic with the fight against fires, namely the protection of the operatives involved in DECIR.

The Secretary of State for Internal Administration, Patrícia Gaspar, said this week in parliament that the DECIR in 2020 has the challenge of guaranteeing the fight against fires and protecting the forest and, at the same time, protecting the operatives that may contract Covid-19 .

In this sense, the Government has already announced that “four major measures” are foreseen to mitigate “the eventual impact of the reduction of operational ones” that could become infected with Covid-19 during the firefighting months, which has to do with the rotation of the device, use of redundancy forces, balancing (balancing) means between districts and strengthening surveillance in critical areas.

The National Authority for Emergency and Civil Protection (ANEPC) has also announced that it is preparing an operational document with measures and instructions that must be followed by those involved in fighting to minimize the effects of covid-19 on the ground.

The fire season is also overshadowed by the financial difficulties that humanitarian firefighters’ associations are currently experiencing due to the current pandemic situation, which can compromise their ability to respond to emergencies.

These financial difficulties “are the result of the abrupt decrease in the transport of non-urgent patients, with a very significant impact on their billing, aggravated by the sudden increase in spending on personal protective equipment and disinfection material”, as revealed this week.

In order to face this situation, the Government approved support for corporations that are in a situation of financial weakness and, to face the cash needs, namely to ensure the payment of salaries to salaried firefighters and other workers.

Also this week, the Government approved the financial circular, which foresees that the voluntary firefighters that are part of the fire fighting will be increased this year by four euros a day, now receiving 54 euros.

The financial circular, an annual document that regulates the State’s contribution to expenses resulting from interventions by fire brigades within the scope of ANEPC provisions, also contemplates an increase of 10% in the amount of the contribution with food.

The firefighting means will be reinforced again on June 1, but between July and September, known for the most critical phase, the period that mobilizes the biggest device, with 11,825 operational personnel, 2,746 teams, 2,654 vehicles this year and 60 aerial means.

The means are increased this year by 3% compared to 2019, namely with more rangers and forest sappers, and the aerial device is contracted for four years.

 

The awarding of the “Clean & Safe” seal, already available for tourist accommodations and travel agencies, will be extended to catering establishments that may require it from today, Lusa said. State Secretary for Commerce.

Completely free, voluntary and automatically issued on the spot, the “Clean & Safe” seal visually records the commitment of operators to the guidelines of the Directorate-General for Health (DGS) for the reopening of catering establishments following of closure due to covid-19.

“This is a seal of commitment by the economic operator to comply with the guidelines of the Directorate-General for Health, which were published last Friday and which are specific to the catering sector,” stated the Secretary of State for Commerce, Services and Consumer Protection, João Torres.

The seal is valid for one year and is issued online through the eportugal.gov.pt portal.

According to the Government’s Decommissioning Plan, released on April 30, restaurants and cafes will resume their activity next Monday, the 18th, but with some restrictions in terms of mitigating the spread of the 19-pandemic pandemic.

Stressing that the seal is a guarantee that the economic operator is “committed to the guidelines” of the DGS, João Torres stated that this does not mean that restaurants that do not have this “Clean & Safe” seal “do not comply” with those guidelines.

Likewise, he noted, the seal is not a necessary and sufficient condition for an establishment to be able to open doors and resume its activity from next Monday.

Last week the DGS issued guidelines for the reopening of restaurants and cafes, which should favor the use of terraces and the ‘take-away’ service, encourage prior booking and will have to reduce the maximum capacity, in order to ensure physical distance recommended two meters between people.

DGS guidelines also advise against standing, as well as ‘self-service’ operations, such as ‘buffets’.

The cleaning and disinfection of spaces must respect the guidelines previously issued by DGS.

The seal is an initiative of the Directorate-General for Economic Activities in conjunction with Turismo de Portugal (which launched it for tourism enterprises, tourist entertainment companies and travel agencies) and which also has the collaboration of the Agency for Administrative Modernization.

João Torres referred to the “notable effort” that the country is making together to contain the spread of covid-19, specifying that “confidence is the key word for the resumption of economic activity”, with this stamp “being a contribution for this confidence is further strengthened ”.
