The number of available rooms for medical staff in Porto now exceeds 300. Porto City Hall is coordinating this operation, by sending an updated list of the available rooms to the hospitals administrations and to the Portuguese Medical Association.

This was the initiative of the hotel sector in Porto and Local Lodging owners, who mobilised to help the heath professionals.

Each health professional should require the list of available rooms and then contact the hotel or local lodging and ask for a room.

The Municipality of Porto is coordinating this operation on a daily basis, by articulating room availability with the hotel sector and reporting any changes the list might have.

In just four days the number of rooms available exceeds 300, which shows the strong civic sense of these entrepreneurs and businesspeople in Porto in this moment of global emergency.

However, they are not the only ones, also the companies in the city have showed financial and logistic availability to help fight the disease, which is an unparalleled demonstration of solidarity
