The case Portugal is a model forEurope: world record of vaccinated, and the Covid is quickly disappearing. Only last February, the country was in (very hard) lockdown, with contagion data among the highest in the world. Today, on the contrary, the Lusitanian bulletin refers to 300 new cases a day, 5 deaths, about 60 patients admitted to intensive care. Negligible numbers, especially when compared to what is happening in neighboring Spain, France, Great Britain, but also Italy itself.
The obligation to show the consideration of ours Green pass remains to access the stadium and other major events, the masks they are mandatory on public transport, at school, for staff in shops, restaurants and bars. Otherwise, it’s a slow return to pre-pandemic life. Above all, as Corriere della Sera points out, “the relaxation of restrictions has had no repercussions on the trend of infections” and this thanks to the vaccination campaign conducted at full speed and without substantial opposition from the citizens. Double-dose vaccinates are the86,9% of the population, the highest figure in the world (in second place the Emirates at 86.1%), especially the vaccinated 100% of the over 65s, the highest risk group, while those over 50 are 100% covered with a single dose, 95% between 25 and 49 years, 88% under 17.
Head of the vaccination campaign is the vice-admiral Henrique Gouveia e Melo, the general Son Portuguese. Sixty, born in Mozambique and new national hero. He is the symbol of everything that we have not been able to achieve in Italy. Perhaps because it was missing here, as the Financial Times with regard to Portugal, “cooperation between doctors, military and local officials” and in general there is a lack of that generalized sense of trust in health authorities and vaccines.
