Portugal reported over 5,200 new COVID-19 cases and 15 deaths in the past 24 hours, with the North region experiencing the highest number of cases. Hospitalizations slightly decreased, with 917 in general wards and 138 in intensive care. Additionally, a study highlights financial struggles among Portuguese households, mainly due to rising living costs, unexpected expenses, and stagnant incomes, leading many to rely on credit or loans. Regional differences in financial difficulties are noted, and a blood donation awareness event took place at Didáxis school. Other news includes the donation of vital signs monitors to Porto’s pediatric hospital, efforts by the GNR to monitor electric scooter accidents—rising sharply in recent years—and community health initiatives.
