One of the alternatives would be to carry out the games in a single region: "It is something that fits the risk assessment", said Gomes.

Jose Manuel Constantino, president of the Olympic Committee of Portugal, said that there is a "manifestation of willingness on the part of the Government to find possible solutions for the resumption of sports activities".

However, he said that the return of "team sports and physical contact is difficult".

The state of emergency ends on May 2, and Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa has already said that he does not intend to extend it.

Portugal registered 295 new cases of infection and 20 deaths from COVID-19 in the last 24 hours, bringing the total to 948 deaths and 24,322 cases of infection, according to the bulletin of the Directorate-General for Health on Tuesday.

The number of recovered cases rose by 32 and is now 1,389, while the number of hospitalized patients has also dropped to 936, 59 less than the previous day.
