This isolation period ends for travellers who test negative for a SARS-CoV-2 screening test performed on the third day after arrival,\u201d the statement reads.<br \/>\nPortugal\u2019s government announced that the recent changes will be kept in place until January 9 and will be updated, taking into account the Coronavirus situation in different world territories.<br \/>\n\u201cIt is recalled that under the measures previously approved by the Government and in force since December 1, all travellers with destination or transit in the national territory must submit a test with negative laboratory result to SARS-CoV-2 before air boarding (performed within 72 hours, if PCR type; or within 48 hours, if rapid antigen type) or the EU COVID Digital Certificate in test or retrieval mode,\u201d the statement clarifies.<br \/>\nBased on the data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1,242,500 people have tested positive for the Coronavirus and its new strains since the start of the pandemic, while a total of 18,823 people have lost their lives due to the virus, during the same period.<br \/>\nWHO figures also reveal that there have been registered over 36,500 COVID-19 infection cases in the last seven days, and 125 people have died.<br \/>\nPortugal has also been affected by the spread of the Coronaviurs\u2019 Omicron variant, while authorities are imposing stricter measures in order to prevent a surge in the number of infections.<br \/>\nOn Friday, the National Health Agency stressed that Omicron is now the dominant strain in Portugal, with over 12,000 daily COVID-19 cases recorded on the same day.<br \/>\nPortugal\u2019s government has also tightened its restrictions ahead of the New Year\u2019s Eve celebrations, following the example of other European countries, such as imposing mandatory negative test requirements for entering restaurants and public celebrations and cutting gathering capacities, as a response to the COVID-19 Omicron variant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
