Portuguese government introduces 14-day quarantine requirement for non-fully vaccinated travellers from U.K. until at least 11 July

Portuguese government introduces 14-day quarantine requirement for non-fully vaccinated travellers from U.K. until at least 11 July

Passengers arriving in Portugal from Britain must quarantine for 14 days from Monday if they are not fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, the Portuguese government said in a statement late on Sunday.  

The new rule, which will remain in place until at least July 11, comes amid a surge in cases in Portugal, where the number of daily new COVID-19 infections is back to February levels, when the country of just over 10 million was still under a strict lockdown.  

Daily positive cases have also been rising in Britain for a month.  

Britons arriving in Portugal by air, land or sea must show proof they are fully vaccinated or self isolate for 14 days at "home or at a place indicated by health authorities," the government said in a statement.  

If your journey has also originated in India, Nepal, South Africa or Brazil, or you have travelled through any of these countries in the last 14 days, you must also quarantine, without exception, for 14 days in the place you are staying or at a place indicated by the Portuguese health authority.  

The rules on quarantining apply to passengers arriving by air, as well as by road, rail or sea.  

If the quarantining rules apply to you, complete this form.
