• BBC on vaccines
  

  What are the Brazil, South Africa and UK variants and will vaccines work?

  “A Covid variant first identified in Brazil has been found in the UK.

  Public health officials are investigating six cases and are using testing to see if it has spread to more people.

  Some variants, like this one, appear to be more contagious and there are concerns current vaccines may not work as well.” Continue reading here

The P.1 variant was first identified in people who were travelling from Brazil to Japan on 10 January, and the infected person is one of six cases of the P.1 variant detected in the UK in February.” Continue reading here

• EUObserver on Covid-free travel pass
  

  EU to propose Covid-free ‘travel pass’ ahead of summer

  “The European Commission is working on a special pass to allow vaccinated people and others to travel more freely – despite criticism from those who say it risks discriminating those unable to get the jab.

  Also known as a “digital green pass,” the plan is to have a legal proposal in a matter of weeks which would include categories like those who are vaccinated, those who have recovered from Covid-19, or those who are able to produce negative test results.” Continue reading here

• SkyNews on the virus evolving
  

  COVID-19: This virus will keep evolving – and that makes international travel risky

  “In truth even a complete quarantine on travelers wouldn’t reduce the risk of imported virus to zero unless it also applies to the 1,000 or so truck drivers crossing the Channel every day. That’s unlikely.

  And no quarantine rule is going to stop the emergence of home-grown variants. Both the original virus and the Kent version have mutated and are spreading.

  What we need are better vaccines.” Continue reading here

What to do while currently in Lisbon

• Food delivery

The coronavirus situation doesn’t need to prevent you from trying delicious food and keeping your body fueled and healthy. You can visit Glovo Lisboa and Takeaway or other delivery websites, pick anything you have cravings for and have it delivered to your location.

• Communicating with your loved ones

You can use this time to reconnect with your loved ones through different video options online. Keeping everyone up-to-date about yourself, making sure everyone is healthy and well and “making someone’s’ day” by giving them a good laugh is a great way to maintain strong relations even when you cannot physically spend time together.

Virtual coffees and dinner dates with a friend, family member, a loved one, or a “double-date” even with another couple is the thing to do during these corona times. Why not enjoy someone’s’ company while everyone stays in the comfort of their home? Times like these sometimes ask us to adapt to another lifestyle, but why not make the best of it?

• Read/Write

If you’re at home, you probably have a shelf full of books that you’ve always wanted to read but never got to. Or perhaps you have some texts that you’ve saved on your phone under “read later.” This is the perfect time to take your mind off the current stressful situation and dive into a literary world, at least for a an hour or two a day.

Also, writing or keeping a journal and getting those thoughts and feelings out on paper can be a true stress reliever during times like these.

• Watch a Portuguese-themed movie

If you can’t explore the city because of the restrictions, you can watch a Spanish movie instead! We all know that feeling when we watch a movie, we see a scene filmed where we’ve been and we scream ‘I’ve been there!” How about watching a movie about Lisbon while you are in Lisbon? It suddenly changes your current experience of the city. Here is a list of the 10 Best Portuguese Movies of All Time.

• Get some fresh air on your balcony or take a walk around your premises when permitted

Although social distancing during these times is very important, going outdoors for some fresh air and a quick walk are just as important for our health. We suggest talking a walk around your living premises when the time permits, making use of your backyard if you have one or simply going on your balcony more frequently during the day.

The entire LuggageHero team wishes you good health and positive vibes!

It’s important that we all follow the measures set by the authorities and protect ourselves and others. By social distancing and taking care of our hygiene, we are lessening the change of the virus spreading. Every individual matters. If coronavirus spreads this fast, imagine how contagious some love and a smile are?
