I’ve heard of 2 cases of Covid in the last week, from pilgrims I met personally, ahead of me. Both had cold symptoms for a day or two and didn’t realize it was Covid at first. Minor sore throat seems to be one of the first signs.
It’s not a bad idea to keep a self test in your pack. Not every small town has a farmacia.
Please please please don’t walk for 2-3 days with a minor sore throat, staying in albergues and eating in busy bars, thinking it’s not Covid. Stay private at the first symptom of a cold until you know for sure. Eat outside or at less crowded times. Wear a mask indoors.
There are lots and lots of walkers here who are in their 60s and 70s. I see more of them than the young people.
