Portugal has reopened cafes, restaurants and many more shops, in a new phase of easing restrictions.

Creches have also reopened, with children removing shoes at the door and smaller groups in each room.

In schools, some face-to-face classes have resumed for older pupils, with caretakers in protective kit at the entrances, wielding hand sanitiser.

But school heads report that many children failed to turn up, under flexible rules allowing worried parents to keep them at home if they choose.

Portugal has been hit far less hard by coronavirus than its neighbour Spain.

But after two weeks in which smaller shops and salons reopened, surveys show many people are still reluctant to leave home except for work or essential purchases.

Prime Minister António Costa was shown on TV visiting shops and cafes in Lisbon at the weekend, and he urged citizens to come out into the streets.
