The Regional Directorate of Health (DRS) issued a statement this evening saying that those who are "Covid-19 positive, or have been in contact with a positive case in the Autonomous Region of Madeira should use the S-alerta.pt/CIDADAO app to monitor their situation, and therefore ignore all SMS messages sent by the Ministry of Health during their period of isolation or quarantine." Therefore allowing people to take a much more active and responsible role during their confinement.
