So the grandest joke of all has finally been dropped......
President Marcelo has admitted that the "borough lockdown" currently in place until the 3rd of November is not legally binding as Portugal is not in a "State of Emergency"

Oh my God, whats next ? !
This is getting more embarrassing by the day if not the hour !
