Portugal has been placed under a state of calamity until March next year following the detection of the omicron variant, the Philippines' ambassador to Lisbon said Monday.
Portugal is home to some 1,000 to 2,000 Filipinos, said Ambassador Celia Ann Feria.
"Majority have their families here maybe that’s why hindi masyado problema na na-red list ng Philippines ang Portugal ," she told ABS-CBN's Teleradyo. "We were requesting Filipinos or advising them na 'pag umuwi make sure na vaccinated na para iwas magdala ng sakit sa family ," she said. So far, a Filipina and a Portuguese married to a Filipino there have plans to visit the Philippines, she said.
