We are already counting down to Carnival, which this year is celebrated on February 17 (Tuesday). As in other years, the Portuguese government has decided to grant time off to civil servants.
The decision was made official on Wednesday, February 11, covering workers who perform public functions in the direct administration of the State and in public institutions.
The aim of this measure is to allow civil servants and their families to participate in the Carnival festivities, which at this time of year are spread from north to south. However, this year, several parties have been canceled, limited, or postponed due to the bad weather that has been felt in recent weeks.
Exceptions
Not all services will be closed, especially those related to essential sectors such as health, security forces, and certain public transportation.
