It's amazing that a local football club can be part responsible for UK withdrawing the air bridge and therefore jeopardising the Algarve tourist industry-jobs are threatened again so these irresponsible players and trainers should be penalised by some form or other- as 33 of them have Covid there must have been an activity they were involved with that they did not follow the rules.

Most of these articles are pointless, how about using the data from the previous articles to report regionally the 7 and 14-day per 100k population figures. Since these are what the UK and Irish governments are using to determine sir corridors it would be relevant.

compared to many Portugal is a drop of water in the ocean. the airlines are the winners, many people will lose their reservations, others will have fees to change the reservation, and others will buy at exorbitant prices ... £ 500 for a London ticket? there is a virus, we already know that. everyone has to take precautions, but at the moment they are only looking at the economic part. UK is worse than Portugal. nobody follows the "rules", mask, distances ...! once again, political gentlemen, you want us to spend our money in this country.
