LISBON, Nov 20 (Reuters) [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=-%20Portugal%27s&gs_l=news - Portugal's] parliament on Friday approved a 15-day extension of a state of emergency from next week to allow continuation of coronavirus measures as the government considers fresh steps. "This approval reflects well the collective commitment to fight COVID-19," Prime Minister Antonio Costa said on Twitter. "With the mobilisation of all we will be able to overcome the virus." The nationwide state of emergency, which came into force for 15 days on Nov. 9 and included a night-time curfew and a half-day lockdown on weekend days across 191 of the country's 308 municipalities, will now be extended until at least Dec. 8. Government ministers met on Friday afternoon to agree on new rules, which will be announced on Saturday and could include a tiered system of restrictions based on the state of the virus in each area. Under Portuguese law, a state of emergency is limited to 15 days but can be extended indefinitely in 15-day periods. Internal Affairs Minister Eduardo Cabrita told parliament the state of emergency was likely to be renewed again after Dec. 8. Portugal, with around 10 million people, has recorded 249,498 coronavirus infections and 3,762 deaths, relatively low figures compared to some European countries. But cases have been rising and are putting the health system under pressure. Confirmed new infections hit 6,994 on Thursday, the highest daily figure since the pandemic started, [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html kynghidongduong.vn] with most of the cases concentrated across the country's northern region. Testing has also increased. A total of 3,079 COVID-19 patients are now in hospital, [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hoa tam giác mạch] with a new record of 481 in intensive care units - more than the first wave peak of 271 in April.

Portugal apos;s NOS To Cut Capex To Minimum If 5G Auction Rules Prevail ...

By Sergio Goncalves LISBON, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Portuguese telecoms firm NOS will cut investments to a minimum and carry out a [http://thesaurus.com/browse/cost-cutting%20restructuring cost-cutting restructuring] in 2021 if the rules of a 5G frequency license auction the provider deems 'unfair' are not reversed, [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hoa tam giác mạch] its CFO said on Thursday. Portugal's regulator ANACOM has reserved a [http://edition.cnn.com/search/?text=spectrum spectrum] in the 900 MHz and 1,800 Mhz bands for new entrants - framed as a push to encourage competition and improve services. Under the rules, long-time market players Altice, [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hà giang] Vodafone and NOS will have to share their infrastructure and offer national roaming to the new entrants' customers. NOS has invested 2.5 billion euros ($2.96 billion) in the last six years, averaging around 400 million euros a year, but CFO Jose Pereira da Costa told Reuters that if the regulator's rules prevail it was "inevitable" the company would cut capex in 2021. "This regulation makes any investment, that goes beyond the minimum stipulated by law, absolutely irrational," da Costa said in an emailed response to questions from Reuters. "No economic agent invests for the benefit of third parties, particularly when they are its direct competitors and already benefit from outrageously discriminatory advantages," da Costa said. Portugal's telecoms regulator said in early November it would start its auctions of 5G frequency licences this month, even as major players warned they would go to court to challenge rules they said unfairly favoured new entrants. Established operators will have to commit to setting up 5G services covering 75% of the population by 2023 and 95% by 2025, well above a requirement of just 25% and 50% respectively for [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html kynghidongduong.vn] new entrants. Investment into R&D will also be significantly reduced if the rules go ahead, da Costa said. In 2019, the company invested 67 million euros and allocated 193 employees to the area. "These are investments with a longer-term return, so they will be the first to be eliminated", he said, adding NOS will also start a restructuring that "will lead to transversal cuts and reductions, to be implemented already in 2021". Last week, NOS filed a precautionary injunction in a Lisbon court against the rules imposed by ANACOM. It has also sent a complaint to the European Commission.
