The nation of 10 million people has reported just 30,471 confirmed cases of the new coronavirus and 1,302 deaths, a small fraction of neighboring Spain’s 28,628 fatalities. As temperatures rose, people were itching to get back into the water. “Yesterday was already busy,” Jose Primo, a waiter at a beach restaurant in Carcavelos, said. “But today, my God! It’s chaos.”
A smartphone app due to be in operation from June 6 is supposed to help avoid crowding by warning which bathing spots are full. In the meantime people are anticipating crowds.
