Todays data, just released from the epidemiological bulletin of the Directorate-General for Health (DGS) shows 19 new cases of Covid-19 in the Algarve over the weekend.
Most cases in the Algarve in the last few days are related to known transmission chains, already under investigation, in the municipalities of Vila Real de Santo António, Castro Marim, São Brás de Alportel and Olhão. One of known chains relates to a care home in Olhão, which has been confirmed as having three new cases.
It has also been reported that there is an outbreak in the Roma community of Portimão.
