“It should be noted that all security measures to receive national and international tourists continue to be taken. Recommendations are being applied that are part of the 'Algarve Clean & Safe' Manual of Good Practices, in line with the stipulated by the health authorities, and in addition, Faro International Airport is implementing basic measures to receive passengers, such as the measurement of temperature, the reinforcement of the signs to indicate the physical distance and information on the use of a mask and protections at the service counters” , adds the person in charge of Algarve tourism.
