New Year’s Eve celebrations cancelled in Porto

With the pandemic accelerating throughout Europe, municipalities are beginning to reconsider plans for the festive season. Porto city council has already decided to cancel its New Year’s Eve celebrations. There will be no fireworks (again) this year, nor will there be any of the scheduled concerts. The municipality will however be providing 100,000 ‘free tests’ in what it calls ‘crucial areas’, so that people can as much as possible enjoy nights out in bars and discotheques.
