LISBON, Feb 17 — As an Omicron-fuelled wave of infections ebbs, Portugal said today it would drop most of its remaining coronavirus rules, including the requirement to show the Covid-19 digital pass to stay at hotels or a negative test to enter nightclubs.
The new measures will come into force in the next few days, Vieira da Silva said, as they need still the final stamp of approval from the president. A negative test will also not be requested to attend large events or to enter sports stadiums, bars and nightclubs.
