Lisbon (Portugal), Oct 14 (EFE) .- (CAMERA: Paula Fernández) Portugal announced that restrictions will be raised due to the increase in Covid infections, so weddings or similar events will be limited to 50 people. Francisco, waiter, on measures:1.- "I do not strongly agree with the measures, taking into account that we have already gone through several processes of this type and the situation has not improved. I believe that we are again affecting the social and economic life of our country." José Manuel, lawyer, on mandatory use of mask:1.- "Everything that is mandatory should be avoided, but people should understand and internalize the need to avoid contaminating others if they are infected without symptoms. But it is difficult. I am smoking and I cannot smoke with a mask ".On football:2.- "5,000 people is a minimum number. I think they can be there. We have to have the idea that the virus can spread regardless of whether there are 5,000 or 10,000. We have to continue living. 5,000 people in a stage of 40,000 is a minimum number ". Leonor, university student, on limiting meetings to 5 people:1.- "On the one hand I think it is the right thing to do, but for example this measure was already more or less dictated. In restaurants near schools only four people can get together and I don't see that much is being fulfilled. I think the measures are not being applied well. They are not being controlled effectively.
