This map is to be published once a week and takes into account two indicators: the number of positive cases in the last 14 days per 100,000 inhabitants and the percentage of tests done that gave positive results.
It categorises regions in three colours, green, orange and red, from lowest to highest risk.
Four of seven Portuguese regions, the North, Centre, Algarve and Lisbon and Tagus Valley regions, have been categorised as ‘red’, along with regions in 12 other European countries.
What makes the Algarve Red ? There doesn’t seem to be many daily cases and it seems pretty safe. Is it a lack of testing which underreports cases numbers ?

Newsonline mostly triggers something without giving full information... totally useless. If you write i.e. Ice cream is expensive, then tell us how expensive...and compared to ...... this is true for a lot of published articles...

If you go to the ECDC website and check the "COVID-19 situation update for the EU/EEA and the UK, as of 19 October 2020" you'll find the map there.
