May has arrived in Portugal and with it comes Mother’s Day, the cherry season, the end of the football championship, the first days on the beach, and new restrictions imposed because of Covid-19. Three and a half months ago, Portugal was forced to close its doors to the world. The number of infected and dead per 100,000 inhabitants was among the highest on the planet. As spring approached, the Portuguese government presented a four-phase deconfinement plan. On 1 May, the fourth and final phase begins for most of the country. This week, Portugal was the third country in Europe with the fewest cases per hundred thousand inhabitants, and the time has come to open borders and do what we do best: receive people.
