Portugal is now a hotspot of coronavirus infections in Europe, the latest EU data shows, reported DW. The Omicron subvariant BA.5 is believed to be behind the spike, which is coming at a time when many tourists are traveling to the holiday hub after many pandemic curbs have been lifted. Portugal logged an incidence rate of 1,295 new cases per 100,000 people over a seven-day period, according to data from the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), reported DW.
Infections in the country far outpace those in neighboring Spain, which has a current incidence rate of 227, as well as Germany’s 377, according to the ECDC.Up to 90% of new infections in Portugal are due to the BA.5 subvariant, the country’s public health institute said in a report on Tuesday. Most coronavirus restrictions have been rolled back in Portugal, and nearly 90% of those eligible to get a jab against the virus have been vaccinated. The government said it would monitor the situation, but there are no current plans to reintroduce measures, such as requiring masks in indoor public spaces, as reported by DW.
