Wait what? I thought the daily number of official cases has been falling for 3 days straight from 443 on the 8th, to 402, 342 and then 291 yesterday? The way you phrase it ("rise again") sounds like it's getting worse. Not helping!

Agree journalists not helping.
Why note cases increase in Algarve by 9 and continue with totals for the whole country from 1st January. It sounds like that's the total for the Algarve.
Any serious journal would have started a new paragraph.
