The government of Portugal mentioned in a statement that, “The Government approved an amendment to the rules applicable to air traffic within the scope of measures to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, extending the possibility of carrying out non-essential trips to our country to travellers from Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and Sรฃo Tomรฉ and Prรญncipe.”
In the statement, it has been highlighted that the non-essential travel ban that was previously imposed against these nations has been officially removed.
