Despite your current situation, with 16 positive cases, the Municipality of MĂ©rtola is now considered to be a very high risk municipality, which aggravates the measures that citizens have to comply. Serpa had no change in position, continuing as very high risk, while Odemira remained at high risk. Very high Cuba and high Barrancos, both went to moderate risk, where the rest of the district councils met.

At “high” risk, where Barrancos and Odemira were positioned, Mértola also appears, while Castro Verde moved to the first and lowest level, the “moderate”, where are the remaining eight municipalities.
