Very big mistake for leaving borders open, with a ageing population and a virus that atacks the sick weak and old, Portugal is really playing a game,our health system and economy,won't survive rather isolate now ,the only country to survive the 1918 pandemic was Australia and that because they where isolated ! It will be painful for the short term but in the long run it would prove to be the right thing to do , isolate now!

I am very concerned about the spread of this virus in Portugal. I have been following the map of the spreading virus through Europe and it’s all around us. Please consider closing the boarders until this epidemic is under control. I agree with the last comments it will be tough at the beginning in the long run you will all benefit. Please
