Lisbon, Jul 9 (EFE) .- (Camera: Paula Fernández and Nacho Ballesteros) There is still no queue at the Elevador da Glória or crowded terraces, but little by little tourists are returning to Lisbon. Everything is ready to welcome travellers amid the pandemic: the terraces, the disinfectants and the "Clean & Safe" stamp, launched by Portugal's tourism sector to identify establishments that comply with hygiene protocols.

Translations:José: "This year there are much fewer tourists, much fewer Spaniards. Normally we are used to having many Spaniards. But tourism, in general, is down by around 90%." André Moreira: "After COVID it has been complicated, difficult to manage because we were a shop used to constant movement and a lot of customer flow and suffered an abrupt change with COVID. But deep down we are optimistic that soon it will change. You already see some difference with the opening of borders, both with Spain and the rest of Europe, you can see more people on the street and the shop is doing better."

Jusque-là, seules les discothèques et les épiceries de nuit devaient proposer des éthylotests à leurs clients. Cette obligation va bientôt s'étendre à tous les magasins qui vendent de l'alcool. Mais Julien Chivé, caviste bordelais, n'est pas vraiment convaincu. "Je trouve que ça ne sert pas à grand-chose. Les gens savent bien qu'après deux verres, il faut s'arrêter si on veut reprendre la voiture. Et les clients rencontrés ce jeudi matin ne voient pas non plus l'intérêt d'en acheter. "Ca me semble absurde", lance l'un d'eux. "De toute façon, après deux verres, on sera positif, donc c'est à chacun de se gérer", explique un autre.Dans l'épicerie de Virgine Matheron, à Talence (Gironde), il est difficile de trouver une place pour les éthylotests. La gérante doit enlever des produits et envisage surtout des coûts supplémentaires. En effet, dans le supermarché Carrefour City, qui en commercialise depuis un an, ces produits ne sont pas très populaires. "On en a vendu trois en un an", confie le gérant. Près de 50 000 commerçants devraient proposer des éthylotests à partir du 1er juillet, sous peine d'une amende de 675 euros.
