    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Delta Variant: Albergue bunks or private rooms?

    No recommendation, speaking only for myself: I have booked private rooms in all stages for my upcoming CF at the end of August. Since it's my 6th, I've stayed in almost all the booked albergues with private rooms, the hostals, casas rurales, hotels, etc. before and look forward to meeting my...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Entering Spain on Napoleon Route...questions unanswered

    Thanks Kathar1na, again, the legal mumble of the text leaves for interpretation. As I will cross the green border near Roland’s fountain, my conclusion to disregard remains unchanged😌 Until my departure end August, I’ll however keep an eye on Reopen.eu, as things currently change rapidly, for...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Entering Spain on Napoleon Route...questions unanswered

    In view of the delicate situation, it would be better to refrain from such "information", unless it comes from an absolutely trustworthy and verifiable source, p-l-e-a-s-e.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Entering Spain on Napoleon Route...questions unanswered

    Thank you so much, @Kathar1na. As you write, the official government language is confusing, the translations thereof do not add any clarity. I guess that in such a situation, we (peregrinos) must prevail with common sense. I guess that the excitement about my forthcoming Camino lets me ponder...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Entering Spain on Napoleon Route...questions unanswered

    I'll arrive in BIQ in late August to proceed to SJPdP and have a valid certificate of vaccination with QR, sufficient to enter France. Walking the Napoleon route passing the "green border" to Roncesvalles and beyond, there is no border checkpoint. Standard Peregrino procedure. Do I need to...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD EU's Digital Covid Certificate is now live

    Liechtenstein is a member of EFTA, which again is associated with the EU. The principality has its own Covid regulations (for visitors IVISA.com). Its citizens can get an EU/EFTA certificate. Liechtenstein is a member of the United Nations, the European Free Trade Association, and the Council...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD EU's Digital Covid Certificate is now live

    This concerns Swiss Peregrinos (a small minority, just below the number of Japanese pilgrims). While being a member of the Schengen accord, Switzerland is not a member of the EU, and is not (automatically) included in any such program as the "green EU certificate". The Swiss health authority...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD What route would a sensible Peregrino take?

    Thank you all for your advice, which helped me to come to a conclusion. Beforehand, to @Kitsambler, @ktchnofdngr and @Rick of Rick and Peg: My concern was the potential problem with entering two country borders with different rules; your route suggestion would still not solve it. Anyway, I...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD What route would a sensible Peregrino take?

    The current situation in a nutshell: the new digital vaccine EU Pass and the one from Switzerland are said to be compatible, but not approved yet. According to the news, this is supposed to happen at the beginning of July, then there are several weeks long time for the implementation. (It's...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid digital vaccine passport being prepared (for EU citizens)

    @Kathar1na I am sorry to differ, I think that we all should stop posting pure guesswork in this forum and wait for the official regulations. Rules are clearly different for EU citizens and aliens from other countries, especially those living overseas including Britain. (E.g. the PCR test is not...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid digital vaccine passport being prepared (for EU citizens)

    In absence of any alternative proof of vaccination, the WHO certificate is absolutely valid. As however, the EU including Switzerland is currently hastily working on a digital green certificate and such will certainly become the prime "passport" to prove vaccination, when it has been introduced...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid digital vaccine passport being prepared (for EU citizens)

    While the electronic EC vaccination passport will be convenient (for EC residents), Brits, and pilgrims from all other non-EC countries can resort to the long-existing WHO certificate, as @Camineiro pointed out. This certificate is recognized worldwide, it is generally available and issued by...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Good news for Swiss peregrinos

    I am not an authority but it is my understanding that the listings are decided unilaterally, but that the governments usually consult with each other to make them reciprocal.

    Your Situation has just evolved! Belgium closes all cafés, restaurants and discotheques because of the coronavirus. Schools will stop teaching, all sports and cultural events will be cancelled, Prime Minister Sophie Wilmès said after a meeting of the National Security Council in Brussels late...
