Is this a good idea at this time? Having a conference of national medical staff in one location amidst a global pandemic? If there are only 1 or 2 infected attendees, the entire medical staff potentially gets infected and carries the issue throughout Portugal's medical facilities.

Mad! Just one carrier of the virus at that conference and half the country's medical staff are out of action.
