Lately, we had different information from the President, Miguel Albuquerque, and the health professionals as to where tourists should do their Covid tests, bevor departure from home or here at arrival. Tests which are done at the airport and the harbor, are being paid the by the Government, that is the tax payer, and the cost amounts to quite a big wad of money. Luckily, many tourists are arriving with a Covid test in their pocket or mobile. On the other hand, Albuquerque says that we should keep offering the tests to be done upon arrival and for free. “One form to guarantee the attractiveness of Madeira is to offer the free test on arrival here. In some countries the tests are very expensive” he said.
