DGS health boss predicts “lifting of restrictions” from September
- 21 July, 21
DGS health authority director-general Graça Freitas has given an apparently upbeat message about Portugal being most likely to see “a lifting of restrictions from September’.
But the reason – on the weekend when 70% of the country has received at least one dose of the various Covid vaccines – is that by September Portugal will have started vaccinating children.
In interview with Jornal de Notícias and TSF Radio, Ms Freitas said she was basing her forecast on “the assumption” that Portugal will soon have authorisation to vaccinate 12-15 year olds”.
