REOPENING OF RESTAURANTS AND CAFETERIAS


The reopening of restaurants and cafeteria is scheduled to May 18, however the space occupation will be limited. The key factor is to privilege the use of outdoor areas, such as terraces and the take-away service. Apart from this, and whenever possible, it should be "promoted and encouraged prior booking for seats".

In this context, the Directorate-General for Health (DGS) defined a set of guidelines that restaurants must follow in this phase of disconfinement. Social distance, table reservation and many disinfections are some of them.

The pandemic context requires a readjustment in the operating conditions, being defined in this document a set of procedures and guidelines to be put into practice in the restaurants and cafeterias.

This information is available in Guideline No. 023/2020.

AHRESP - Portugal's hotel, restaurant and similars association, based on the guidelines of the Directorate-General for Health for the sector and in the legislation currently in force has prepared a detailed guide, which describes, section by section, the procedures to be considered for this type of establishments.
