The Peninsula
LISBON - Portugal will allow restaurants to stay open past midnight from mid-June and will lift a work from home order as it takes a further step to ease COVID-19 restrictions, Prime Minister Antonio Costa said on Wednesday.
From June 14, restaurants, cafes and pastry shops, which now must close at 10.30 p.m., will be able to keep doors open until 1 a.m., and most public transport can return to operating at 100% capacity. Costa told a news conference that although remote work will no longer be mandatory, it is still recommended. There are no more restrictions on stores' opening hours and cultural shows can go on until midnight under capacity restrictions.More Related News
