Default text message keep physical distance and use mask' ?

I have received three text messages today, fro a 351 number, saying ' Keep physical distance and use mask ' ( in English.

I can only imagine that this comes from some Government entity which has access to my Passenger Locator Form .

Anyone else received such ? It is 12 days now since my arrival at Faro, so I am guessing too late for it to be anything to do with someone on the plane contracting the disease ??

procliv emergency information system I assume; they send out messages in English to foreign numbers of phones that are within Portugal.
Even non-English foreign phones get English warnings.
Wildfire warnings too.

Yes, regularly got messages. Recently changed to a Portuguese number and now the messages come in Portuguese. The one from yesterday basically said 'make sure you get vaccinated'.
