Portugal may have air bridge with the UK as soon as June says foreign minister as Brits are 'most welcome'

He explained that Portugal would rely on temperature checks at airports on incoming passengers instead, and were considering carrying out "random testing" as well. Portugal's once-booming tourism sector collapsed in April as lockdowns to contain the spread of the coronavirus grounded flights and kept visitors away.
