Confirmed coronavirus cases in Portugal pushed past the 10,000 mark, while government data showed more than half a million Portuguese workers were at risk of being temporarily laid off due to the outbreak, Reuters reported.
“This fight is not a 100-metre race; it is a long marathon,” Health Minister Marta Temido told a news conference.
Temido urged citizens to step up their fight against the outbreak as there was still “no light at the end of the tunnel.”
