Portugal to allow EU and UK tourists with a negative coronavirus test

Lisbon: Portugal will allow tourist flights from European Union countries with low infection rates and from the UK, but passengers must show a negative coronavirus test on arrival, the Interior Ministry said on Saturday.

The announcement came a day after the Portuguese tourism authority gave the green light to UK tourists to enter the country from Monday. In a statement, it said the ban will be lifted on European countries with less than 500 cases of infections per 100,000 people.
