The petition argues that Portugal had a "good management" of the Covid-19 pandemic, while other countries had a higher number of deaths per million inhabitants, such as Spain, France and Italy.
The petition further considers that Portugal was left off of the list of countries from which passengers can freely enter the UK due to an “isolated outbreak in the Lisbon area”, and recorded “more cases as a result of more tests” than other European Union countries.

What is with the petition? Has everyone gone mad with no regard for their or others lives. Is your holiday worth risking yours and your family's health?
During the past week we are gradually seeing the positive covid-19 cases rise in Algarve. After having been under control for so long. Does the Algarve want to follow in their Spanish neighbours footsteps? It is being reported that the police in the Algarve have been dispersing large groups of Irish and British holidaymakers who are breaking the country’s Covid-19 restrictions, risking the sacrifices locals have made to keep infected numbers down over past few weeks. As well as illegal parties of Dutch youngsters.
Officers from the GNR have been forced to empty restaurants and bars who aren’t sufficiently enforcing the Government’s coronavirus rules and we still haven't gotten the airbridge with the UK.
Is nobody looking at the UK covid cases? Why are you inviting positive cases into our land. We should be protecting our country and ourselves.
For all of our sakes, I hope that common sense prevails.

its beyond comprehension how Portugal is left off.its safer here than the UK.it can only be that Boris wants people to holiday in England to boost their economy

(Note that this comment is solely an opinion and I habe no intentionto offend anyone).
Tourism is just a bad idea this year, let the vaccine come and come next year without worrying about covid, especially considering how bad certain governments are handling it, both the UK's and the Portuguese, and now with the Spanish having a second wave and even though it is Catalonia and Madrid being hit the hardest it's safe to assume Portugal will have it's soon enough if it's a mirror of the first wave.
Stay safe folks!

Looking forward to go and see my family and I will respect all the rules they ask.

Much safer in Portugal than in the big UK cities.
As a property owner on the Algarve we really need the freedom to use and look after our properties.

We wish to visit Algarve as much as everyone else. Going several times in the year. We were totally devastated that Spain remained on list but look what has happened there. We wish to visit 27th August but it does not look like Portugal will have air-bridge with UK. Everyone should be cautious it is understandable.
