According to a statement released, the municipality, “the security forces and health authorities, are concerned with an active contagion focus that is being identified” in the municipality of Lagos, Faro district.

The note explains that the “origin of this focus” is being attributed “to the organisation of an illegal festive event”, which took place “a few days ago, which brought together a large number of people”.

The Câmara de Lagos stresses that, “although they are not yet included in the daily report of the Directorate-General for Health, there are already some confirmed positive cases”, without specifying the number of confirmed cases following this outbreak of contagion.

The municipality adds that the “competent entities” are “carrying out tests, determining isolation measures and identifying possible contagion chains”, so that the focus “remains as circumscribed as possible”.
