Questioned by journalists about the possibility of Portugal not being included in the list of countries considered safe for tourists, namely by the British Government, Jamila Madeira stated that the Government has been working so that the “observation” of the Portuguese reality “is seen as it is, dynamic”.

After a visit to the Hospital and University Centre of the Algarve (CHUA), regarding the acquisition of 30 new ventilators, the official said that "it is up to the authorities and all Portuguese" to behave in a way that "allows the diplomatic and health authorities" to demonstrate with numbers to other states the reality and the “confidence that they can also pass on to their citizens”.

Jamila Madeira guaranteed that, in diplomatic and health terms, “every day an effort is made to demonstrate, explain and propose any adjustments” that need to be made to “guarantee the safety of any citizen who comes from another country, because they are welcomed here, as well as the Portuguese”.

The British Government is evaluating the creation of "travel corridors" with a number of destinations so that the British can go on vacation without having to comply with the 14-day quarantine on their return to the UK currently in effect.

On Friday, 26 June, Portuguese Home Affairs Minister Eduardo Cabrita said that "there is no reason" for quarantining upon return to the UK, but he did not want to anticipate the British Government's announcement about the air corridor with Portugal.

Portugal is one of the countries that has expressed interest in negotiating an "air corridor" with the United Kingdom to be able to receive British tourists, who represented almost 20 percent of the total in 2019.

Regarding the appointment of a new board of directors for CHUA, whose term ended in December 2019, Jamila Madeira forwarded the announcement to its publication in Diário da República, in a “decision that is up to the Minister of Health”.
