As it happened: UK makes final preparations for mass vaccination - BBC News
The UK will begin a mass vaccination on Tuesday, beginning with the elderly, health workers, and carers.
Restaurants and most shops in Portugal were ordered to close early today on what is the eve of a national holiday as the government attempts to curb the spread of the virus over the second long weekend in two weeks.

Traders were obliged to close by 15:00 and the government gave employees the day off in addition to tomorrow's holiday - as it did a week ago, on the eve of the 1 December national holiday.

A domestic travel ban has been in place since 23:00 Friday, and runs to 05:00 Wednesday, with people barred from leaving their municipality of residence except for work or emergencies.

Remote working is mandatory - where feasible - in areas deemed to be at high, very high, or extremely high risk of transmission of the virus - affecting the vast majority of Portugal's population.

In most of these areas - those deemed at very high or extremely high risk, which include Lisbon and Porto - there is also a 13:00 curfew tomorrow. The restrictions are in place under the state of emergency that parliament on Friday voted to renew until 23 December.

Portugal yesterday reported 3,834 new confirmed coronavirus cases - well down from the 19 November peak of 6,994 - and 87 deaths associated with Covid. Since the start of the epidemic, the country has reported 322,474 confirmed cases and 4,963 Covid-19 deaths.
