Madeira looking for an exemption from national rules
The Diario today headlines that Madeira is seeking a specific local framework for all the new housing policy measures proposed by the Government of the Republic. Today’s edition reveals that the Regional Government alleges its own specificities for a ‘tailor-made’ solution. Today it will approve three housing policy resolutions, in which it also defends Local Accommodation rules and the maintenance of gold visas in the Region.
Changes to the national housing policy are detailed in previous posts.
3 out of 5 Madeirans have had Covid
Also highlighted on the front page, accompanied by an image, we have the news that 3 out of 5 Madeirans have had covid. The accounts of Covid-19, three years after the first case of infection with the virus was identified, make headlines again.
In this edition, the Diario tells readers that there are already more than 150,000 infections and more than 400 deaths associated with this disease officially registered in the Region, which is equivalent to about 60% of the resident population.
The real numbers could even be higher, given that in recent months the number of diagnostic tests performed has been very small. In terms of vaccination that reduces the risk of serious illness, Madeira achieved 91% coverage in primary vaccination, but only 8% in seasonal reinforcement.

In the interview published today, the highlight goes to Nigel Miles-Thomas. The British actor is in Madeira for a special event taking place tomorrow at the Royal Savoy. To the Diario, he spoke of his passion for Madeira, but also of the ‘Mystery Dinner’ in which he is involved.

3 out of 5 Madeirans have had Covid
That’s a high amount? How many madeirans have add the famous covid vaccine?
It is logical that a madeira would ask for different rules – the island is so dependant on AL and the Golden Visa.
Doesn’t surprise me.
It would be interesting to know the real figure? 91% vaccination rate is not realistic
21st April 2021 the Guardian quoted the Madeiran figures that 260,000, nearly a quarter of the population had had the first treatment and that by October of the same year the figure would be 70%. It is now March 2023 I can accept the figure of 91%. Another of your wild, thoughtless accusations?
No doubt you actually believed that nonsense.
Unless you are able to come up with chapter and verse to prove them wrong, yes. Show me your research.
Only 8%, Take booster?🤣🤣🤣 it’s not a vaccine it’s a death shot 💉👺💉👹💉
I don’t believe this nonsense.
