    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Galicia Covid 19 Insurance - how to file a claim

    What a conundrum. If the people at the original reporting number can't tell you how to proceed, who can? If the information from @Kathar1na is not what you need, perhaps try posting on FB camino groups, those have a wider reach.

    COVID Where can you stay should you contract covid on the Camino?

    If you wanted to be sure you weren’t spreading it, one would take another over-the-counter Covid test. I was able to get these in Spain for about three euros each. Once you test negative you’re unlikely to be contagious. Typically that takes 8 to 10 days. You probably had Covid for a few days...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Vac Requirements for Spain

    I noticed that the Spanish government SPTH app that you have to fill in right before you fly listed all the requirements to enter Spain If you dig down a bit. If you haven’t done everything properly you’re never going to get to Europe, because the airline won’t let you on the plane. I’m on the...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Updated US Embassy COVID Travel to Spain News

    By the way, you should be pleased to know that in every public Spanish space that I was in there was 100% masking. And a significant amount of people just walking around.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Updated US Embassy COVID Travel to Spain News

    Well, it doesn’t sound like any of you actually know the answer to my question. A Search on the Internet Only revealed one article that seemed a bit outdated. United said fully refundable, and American and Delta said they would work with you. It just seemed to me that since the United States...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Updated US Embassy COVID Travel to Spain News

    So actually what happens if you test positive and you can’t board your plane? You have to isolate in Spain, OK. For 10 days? And I assume once you show a negative Covid test after your isolation. They’ll let you back on a plane . But what happens then? Does the airline still I have an...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Updated US Embassy COVID Travel to Spain News

    I know you mean April 6.…. Thanks for the heads up about the weather. I actually hadn’t even checked. Maybe I’ll just start from Pamplona. It looks a little warmer at least. This is my first Camino, and I had my heart set on starting from SJPP And the Napoleon. But of course it’s too early in...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Updated US Embassy COVID Travel to Spain News

    I got my 4th on March 24 by self certifying that I was eligible. The pharmacist gave me a bit of a hard time but then just a couple days later they opened it up anyway.

    That would be wonderful. I’m not absolutely sure exactly which day I’ll arrive to Roncevalles.Probably the evening of the 6th. I get the feeling you’re leaving the on the sixth from your dates? Buen Camino!

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Updated US Embassy COVID Travel to Spain News

    I arrived from the United States today March 31, 2022 To Madrid. Before I boarded the plane they wanted to see my vaccination card and my SPTH app QR code. When I landed in Madrid. they only asked me for the SPTH app QR code. I’ll be in Spain for several months altogether, and hopefully they...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Updated US Embassy COVID Travel to Spain News

    I just about had a heart attack! I’m leaving for Spain in a couple days and at first panic I thought I read that Spain was demanding the negative Covid test before I boarded my flight. And then I went back and read that it was the USA and still the same requirements. Whew!

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD great airfares, but is it safe to go to Spain?

    You need a crystal ball..... I think now is not a good time to go. But If you're planning in a few months, I would book the ticket as long as you can change it. Most airlines are offering this but not on every ticket. For instance, United Basic Economy is not changeable, but regular Economy is...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD the Netherlands in lockdown.

    For the first time instead of thinking what I’m going do in six months or so after this virus “thing” calms down, I’m starting to wonder how to make plans if this goes on for five or more years. And how am I going to live the life I want?

    Today, July 29,2021 its about 49% fully vaccinated and 58% partially vaccinated. In the US. per the federal government : https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations Probably @Eric G saw some state figures accidentally.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Travel from USA to Spain update

    The list of all recommendations is interesting. In Europe, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and Great Britain are all on the "avoid travel" list as of July 27, 2021. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/noticescovid19

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD EU decides only one jab for EU citizens to travel. CF here we come:-)!

    @Madeleine Jacobs , I guess you were waiting unnecessarily since that article is dated March 4 and is what, 10 weeks old? I would see what was actually decided. And where does that article mention QR codes? Maybe you posted the wrong link?

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Americans allowed in EU this summer

    Good point. I didn’t think of this myself. I started doing it because some Central Americans (Guatemalans, in this case) I met asked me to. I don’t always remember. And it’s difficult, and doesn’t really work perfectly. I really ended up just expressing this because one of the first few words...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Americans allowed in EU this summer

    The original article said “over the summer”. There was no specific timeline offered. “Ms. von der Leyen did not offer a timeline on when exactly tourist travel might open up or details on how it would occur. But her comments are a top-level statement that the current travel restrictions are set...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Americans allowed in EU this summer

    Of course I saw that post. and I’m not going on any Camino if it’s still risky or I am unwanted. But I think there’s evidence of a decline. And I think that “politician in Brussels“ was talking about later this summer, probably at least three months away. In three months, if things go as...
