Passengers who disembarked this morning in Porto Santo are quarantined

Tobi Hughes·20th April 2020
News Blog

Only two passengers disembarked this Monday morning from the Lobo Marinho ferryboat, in Porto Santo, and both went to quarantine at a hotel on the island.

The companies that are working on the golden island in various civil construction works are following the instructions dictated by the Health Authority, given the situation of obligation to quarantine on arrival in Porto Santo, this after the regional secretary of Health, Pedro Ramos, having declared yesterday, at 6 pm, that construction workers were an exception to isolation for 14 days, and then, after 5 hours, to correct that version.

It is recalled that this problem was raised by a journalist at yesterday’s IASAúde press conference, taking stock of the covid-19 pandemic in the Region.

At the said press conference, which started at 6 pm, the regional secretary of Health, Pedro Ramos, said that construction workers would be exempt from fulfilling the said quarantine, but after the ‘kick-off’ of the Mayor from Porto Santo, Idalino Vasconcelos – who demanded mandatory quarantine for all passengers disembarked on the island without exception – the Regional Government stepped back and issued a press release, late last night (after 11 pm), announcing that workers from that sector would no longer be an exception to the norm and that, after all, it would be mandatory again, to stay 14 days in quarantine at the Hotel Praia Dourada.

It should be noted that on this voyage of the ship Lobo Marinho, there was once again a lot of mail and also many vans and trucks with various types of goods.

    Wise deision. A small community like Porto Santo cannot deal with a massive corona outbreak. Not pleasant for construction workers, but if the organisation is clever, they invent a sort of working quarantine as well.. In quarantine on the construction site in daytie, in a hotel at nighttime. This could only work if all workers on a site would be in quarantine, and there would be no interaction with the population outside the construction site. Commuting would be out of the question though.

    Two weeks in quarantine, at a Hotel on Porto Santo, is just what I would be prepared to withstand. Remember, there are too many who go to Madeira/Porto Santo on a AI basis holiday and never step a single foot outside the Hotel and thereby contribute nothing to the local businesses and general economy.

    Believe me the quarantine hotel is not the best one on the island, more of a travel lodge in the centre of town with no views. Chosen because of this me thinks!
