Porto City Hall extends free testing period to Covid-19 during January (updated schedules)

Given the 78 thousand Covid-19 tests carried out by the Municipality of Porto up to the begging of this week, Porto City Hall has decided to extend the testing period, initially planned until 31 December, during the month of January.

Facing the number of new Covid-19 infections reported by the Directorate-General of Health, Porto City Hall is forced to postpone the GNR concert, scheduled for 30 December, at 21h30, at Super Bock Arena – Pavilhão Rosa Mota, to a date to be announced in due course.

During these last three days of the year, 29, 30, 31 December, 12 testing centres (from Germano de Sousa and Unilabs laboratories) will be operating in the city. POC Medical Care, which has already ran out of tests allocated to it by the Municipality of Porto during this period, will resume its activity on January 1st.
