TEXT
Decree No. 4/2021 of March 13
Summary: Regulates the state of emergency decreed by the President of the Republic.
Since November 2020, the declaration of a state of emergency has been repeatedly renewed based on the verification of a public calamity situation.
Approaching the end of yet another 15-day period in which the Decree of the President of the Republic no. 21-A / 2021 , of 25 February was in force , the epidemiological situation verified in Portugal, despite its favourable evolution, justifies that the state of emergency is renewed again, which happened through the Decree of the President of the Republic no. 25-A / 2021 , of 11 March.
The reduction that has been occurring with regard to the number of new daily cases of contamination of the disease COVID-19, as well as its transmission rate, as a result of the measures that have been adopted, allows the beginning of a gradual and phased out of the restrictive measures imposed. However, it is not recommended that there be a drastic reduction in those measures: it is essential to maintain the trend of decreasing the number of daily contagions, and, for this purpose, it is necessary that most of the rules that have been in force continue to be in force apply.
Thus, the Government considers, after listening to the scientific community and taking into account the current situation, that this is the time to start the process of lifting confinement measures, which should take place slowly and gradually. For this purpose, several phases of survey of the applicable measures were established, having been defined criteria associated with the evolution of the risk of transmissibility of the virus, the level of incidence and the capacity of the National Health Service, as well as the testing and screening capacities.
First, the present decree maintains the ban on movement between municipalities on the weekend of 20 and 21 March, which, in view of the restraint required for travel during the Easter period, is applicable continuously from 26 March.
Educational and teaching activities are resumed in person, in public, private and cooperative education establishments and in the social and solidarity sector, pre-school education and the 1st cycle of basic education, as well as day care, family day care and love, and also, for children and students who resume educational and teaching activities, family support activities and curriculum enrichment, activities provided in leisure centres and study centres and the like.
From March 15, establishments of non-essential goods will be able to sell to the wicket or through the collection service of products previously purchased through means of remote communication (click and collect), with the closing times of the establishments previously practiced also changed.
In addition, drinks are also available for take-away, with the ban on meals, products or drinks at or near the establishment’s doorstep.
Equally, the operation, by prior appointment, of hairdressing salons, barbers, beauty institutes and similar establishments is allowed. The establishment of stores for the sale of books and musical supports, libraries and archives, the sale of automobiles and bicycles, and real estate mediation services is determined.
Additionally, it is no longer forbidden to stay in parks, gardens, green spaces and leisure spaces, garden benches and the like, without prejudice to the powers of mayors.
Finally, the ban on travel outside the continental territory, carried out by any means, namely by road, rail, air, river or sea, by Portuguese citizens is lifted, without prejudice to the control of land and river borders that continues to be applicable.
In order for the measures now determined to take effect on Monday, March 15, the regulation covers two days, March 15 and 16, still under the previous renewal of the state of emergency declared by the Decree of the President of the Republic no. 21-A / 2021 , of February 25, since the determined restrictions are enabled by the same, extending for the period enabled by the Decree of the President of the Republic no. 25-A / 2021 , of March 11 .
