    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Avoiding Covid

    Some of us walking ARE or are approaching 75 years of age and probably have at least one comorbidity by then, so I am sure you can understand our interest in sensible precautions!

    Very sensible. Can you post the video site you referenced?

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Avoiding Covid

    Respectfully, science indicates that distancing and wearing good masks help mitigate humans from getting or transmitting the disease. I am sure there are people who slept in private rooms who got covid, but more than likely it wasn't transmitted in their room. And I know of pilgrims who stayed...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Avoiding Covid

    IMO, some people who did not have to test before returning home may have had a mild case of Covid but it went unreported because they were unaware they had it,or had only slight symptoms which did not stop them from walking. On the other hand some folks reported having Covid only when they...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Avoiding Covid

    [Moderator note: some posts were moved from another thread] @Albertagirl it is not a fait accompli that you will get Covid next Camino! Many, many of us did not get Covid on our Caminos in 2021 &2022. Why? We stayed in private accommodations. We always wore good masks,such as N95s or...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Protocol after a positive covid test

    If I were part of a group and I tested positive, I would get an official test and isolate immediately. One should not continue walking with a group! The infected person can spread it to other group members. Members of the group might also want to self test every couple of days. The local...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Spanish health form seat #

    We went in Sept. and changed seats after receiving our QR codes. No issue upon arrival in Madrid. I think the purpose of requiring your seating info is for contact tracing after everyone has departed from the airport. ButI doubt with Omicron they will even do that?

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Updated US Embassy COVID Travel to Spain News

    For those of us who flew from overseas and walked a camino this passed year(2021),it was no big deal if you knew the rules, kept current as you traveled, and kept in touch with this website. This time, I would also suggest signing up with the Embassy of your home country. Stay tuned, be...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Updated US Embassy COVID Travel to Spain News

    I know from discussion with air personnel that many of them hope to keep the mandates on International, long-haul flights. With an even more contagious virus, who wants to arrive in a foreign country having been put further at risk because some passenger near you in the plane is contagious...

    https://www.spth.gob.es/faq?tab=1 Fill out the form online and send it within 48 hours of departure. If it is correctly filled out, you should get QR code within a short time.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Should I post 3rd or 4th Covid Vaccine Shot when applying for QRcode?

    For me, a booster shot is required as my initial 2 doses were completed in Early March 2021…which would be more than 365 from days when I will enter Spain in late April. So I am correct..it is not wrong! Whether one needs a booster depends upon when you received your second shot as I...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Should I post 3rd or 4th Covid Vaccine Shot when applying for QRcode?

    So last September ‘21, I applied for QR code with Vaccines from 2/21 and early 3/21. Two weeks before we left we got a third shot circa 8/30/21 However, when I applied for the QR code only two dates were necessary, so I used the initial dates. Now Spain requires 3 dates. Recently, I...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Latest Covid requirements for EU

    Stay tuned if 65 or over. Pfizer and moderna have both petitioned FDA for a 4th shot for those 65+ with the upswing in cases in Europe. USA is usually about 3 weeks behind in terms of cases. Unfortunately our overall vaccination rates are lower than in western europe.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD US return travel/link for covid tests

    I suppose the self-kits are appealing in terms of convenience. Some have reported having difficulty getting connected because of many customers wanting to use the service at the same time. I bought several home, non e-verification kits in case we need to monitor ourselves while traveling. The...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid Tests at Madrid Airport for travelers to US

    Currently the best option is to get the Rapid antigen test for 30€ at the airport. The antibody test is not used to determine if you are currently infected with COVID 19. Antibody testing is usually done to see whether you had COVID-19 in the past and now have antibodies against the virus that...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Recovering from Corona virus

    We are proud, self-proclaimed permanent members of the Turtle Club! In my younger years, I ran marathons, challenged mountains, and was a national level team sport player. This is a senior testimony that going slow and really being in the moment can be just as satisfying!
