Description

Portugal approached the pandemic in a largely unenviable position. It had a highly exposed healthcare system, with a very low number of intensive care beds (27th out of the 30 SGI countries in terms of “Intensive Care Beds”), a low number of ventilators (just over 1,000) and a low testing capacity. Its education system was ill-prepared for remote learning, with an aging teaching staff, low IT capabilities in schools and virtually no prior experience.
