          • O que é um cordão sanitário ou uma cerca sanitária? Os dois termos são sinónimos. O primeiro é mais usado pelos médicos, enquanto o segundo surge nas leis da protecção civil. Trata-se de um perímetro que delimita um determinado local, que deverá ficar isolado dos territórios vizinhos. Se for feito à volta de um município, em princípio, todas as entradas e saídas rodoviárias e ferroviárias que ligam esse concelho aos territórios vizinhos são vigiadas pelas forças de segurança de modo a não permitir que uma pessoa consiga sair ou entrar no local que está isolado. Pode haver entradas e saídas excepcionais, para os profissionais de saúde ou para o abastecimento do município a nível de bens essenciais. - Jornal O Público by Maria Teresa Borges de Almeida
