It also said that people should try to"reduce contacts over the next 14 days" and strictly follow preventive measures, such as maintaining social distancing and wearing a mask.The recommendations were made due to the high number of fans in Porto who did not comply with COVID-19 rules, ARS Norte said, adding that it would"keep monitoring the epidemiological situation" and adjust its response accordingly.
