    COVID My Camino Covid experience

    My first two bouts with it were a lot worse, but please don't be mistaken -- a two month long bout of the common cold would kill some people. People die from the common cold every year. Worst for me the first two times was the 2-3 months post-recovery of significantly worse inflammatory pain...

    COVID My Camino Covid experience

    The currently circulating variants are rather mild, and last time I had it symptomatically, it was pretty much different to a common cold mainly in that it lasted for two months rather than two days. First couple of times, well, quite worse in terms of significant inflammatory pain. Even so...

    COVID Covid on the Camino

    Walking in Portugal and Spain towards Compostela last Summer/Autumn, I'd guess a third of us had it, a third recovering, and a third immune. I can remember no deaths nor grievous illnesses. Mainly I remember some pilgrims coughing.

    The current, remaining vaccination requirement to enter the US -- for example, upon return from a Camino -- for non-citizens will end on May 12th, along with all other remaining Federal covid mandates in the country.

    COVID France no longer requiring self-isolation

    Covid news relevant to the Camino has become unusual. Nevertheless, France was still requiring a 5-day self-isolation in the event of a positive test. This is being dropped from this Wednesday 1st February 2023.

    COVID Walking a Camino with 'Long Covid'.

    Even with none of us in here being competent to assess your situation, medically, the long covid is particularly difficult, given that it's basically a group name for a variety of virus provoked autoimmune conditions individual to each person. Personally, it made my knees hurt a lot more than...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD New entry conditions for France.

    All covid-related entry conditions have ended from 1st August. Regardless of vaccination status. No vaccination proof needed, no negative test, nor proof of recovery. All you need is your valid travel documents, passport, visa if needed, your pilgrim gear, and whatever the airline may request...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD France

    Here's a reason for my circumspection. As things stand now, the French Senate has reintroduced a possibility of demanding a negative test of foreign travellers. And entirely reasonably, introduced amendments to allow travellers from France to the rest of the EU to be able to comply with the EU...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD France

    I can't see that this has been posted on the forum. Please check official Government and Embassy websites - - but unless something changes, then from 1st August, it's unlikely that any covid restrictions at all for entry will persist. But please do double check - - I'm on the Camino in...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD US Pilgrim on Camino Frances: France and Spain travel

    They are both organisations that belong to the EU executive branch, as implemented by each Nation State individually Any EU Member State can require airlines based in that State and/or arriving at its airports to require rules that may diverge from those that are established as the norm by...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD US Pilgrim on Camino Frances: France and Spain travel

    There are likely to be various liminal cases, variable from one airline to the next, and one route to the other. I would suppose, and of course caveat as this is just personal opinion subject to verification, that EU-based carriers flying over international waters would follow EU and EU...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD US Pilgrim on Camino Frances: France and Spain travel

    On the same day, face masks will cease to be mandatory in public transport in France. Hooray !!

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid on the Frances

    Prior to omicron, covid in pilgrims was pretty much unheard of.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Pre-departure covid test to enter France by air?

    In that case you should probably answer "don't know". Having said that, France is presently enforcing no quarantine requirements anyway.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Pre-departure covid test to enter France by air?

    Orange list : https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/covid-19-international-travel Vaccinated persons shall be under no restrictions when entering metropolitan France. Health control measures If already vaccinated : proof of vaccination status; Since February 1, 2022, in order for their vaccination...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD French Vaccination Pass ending on March 14th, 2022

    France has updated the list of "green" countries : https://www.gouvernement.fr/infocoronavirus/deplacement Most notably for pilgrims -- both Camino and Francigena -- the United Kingdom is now on the "green" list, so that the unvaccinated may now travel into France from that country for...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Is QR code needed WALKING into Spain?

    No -- the forms have never been needed in that instance, and a negative test/vaccine certificate was only ever nominally required for walkers into Spain for a brief period in early 2020, but (as I understand things) was not in practice demanded even then, partly because of an exemption for those...
