The growth in the number of infected in the Lisbon metropolitan area has forced the Portuguese Government to take special measures in the district councils of the area, one of them in the capital of the country. Confinement has been decreed in areas of Amadora, Odivelas, Sintra, Loures and in Santa Clara , district of the capital. Meetings of more than ten people are prohibited, at-risk people are forced to confine themselves to absolute confinement and the rules on social distancing, use of a mask, and disinfectant gel are maintained . Citizens will only be able to leave home to work or buy and popular markets are once again prohibited.

The rest of Portugal, for its part, remains on alert, in circumstances that will continue until July 12, at least, as announced by the Government.

We will have to wait to see how this affects the sports plan, since Lisbon was the city selected by UEFA to host the final phase of the Champions League this season, which has to be played in the Portuguese capital. According to the calendar of the highest European body, the quarterfinals will be held between August 12 and 15, in less than two months, in the two main stadiums in Lisbon, Da Luz and José Alvalade . The semifinals would be played on the 19th and the final on the 23rd.

At the time of the announcement, UEFA referred the health authorities of the countries, and in particular of Portugal , for any decision based on the evolution of the pandemic. Among them could be the remote possibility that the public would go to the stadiums, although the working hypothesis is that of matches behind closed doors. Still more seeing that the virus is spreading throughout the capital in recent days.
