It is amazing and alarming that nationals from over 40 foreign countries entered Portugal carrying the Covid-19 virus.
By Marc J. Moniz from USA on 05 Apr 2020, 19:26
Hi Marc, Portugal is a tourist country and even has many cruise ships docking here and operating on the Duoro so not at all amazing or alarming that viruses can be coming in anytime. So far the country has handled the spread pretty good I would say if you compare it to Italy or USA...
By Thomas Wissmann from Lisbon on 06 Apr 2020, 10:08
there are enough cases worldwide for everyone to be concerned with.no need to stigmatize imports especially in countries such as portugal whose economy has largely benefitted from the influx of europeans over the years. solidarity is in order. let's try to remember this?

Hi Marc,
I think the statistics are also miss leading here. It says virus import. It could be anyone coming from or returning from those countries including Portugal nationals coming back from other countries. I also believe while persons came from these countries and then were tested positive here (probably with some time in between) it could also be that those people contracted the virus here shortly after travelling to portugal or on the way here. As long as is doesn't explain how thos data has been collected and analyzed it is hard to say how reliable that data is.
