COVID Covid update for NON EU Folks.

Apologies if old news but just seen!

From October 21st 2022, tourists and other non-resident visitors from outside of the EU/EEA will no longer be asked to show a Covid-19 certificate by officials at airports and sea ports in Spain. Spanish nationals and residents who are travelling directly to Spain from a non-EU country will not be asked for proof either.

Such a relief for those travelling from distant shores seeing all the red tape lifting. It takes a lot of stress away from a lot of prep needed regardless of Covid.
I realise we still need to be vigilant though.
Buen camino to fellow peregrino/as.
I’m heading to Madrid myself on Oct 25th.

Yes. The last EU country to lift restrictions! Enjoy Madrid.

But keep in mind that Covid-19 is still around.

Yes, I just spoke with a peregrina who tested positive yesterday, despite only sleeping in private rooms.

Yes, my daughter, triple vaccinated, had to go along to an evening corporate gig (to be seen as a "team player") and WHAM! Covid, after dodging it and scrupulously following all the rules for two and a half years.
It's a sneaky little bug so stay alert.

Good thing she was vaccinated!! She will likely only experience minor symptoms. This is how vaccines and vaccinations have always worked.

Too many people today think the vaccine was supposed to be a “force field” like in the super hero movies, and they begin to think the vaccine doesn’t work because a vaccinated person tests positive. Sorry….. I didn't mean to preach!! I hope your daughter recovers quickly!!

It will be with us for decades to come. We just have to live with it now and enjoy life to the full. Seems to be alot of people catching it currently where I live but fortunately with mild symptoms. Just had my 4th jab

I arrived in Barcelona from Bangkok October 11 zero mention of COVID, I wasted time and money getting a PCR test while in BKK

Here too. I just took the third booster today; that’s five vax shots, and frankly, I’m beginning to worry more about the vax than the disease.

The beginning post was informative, but posts are now veering into conjecture and opinion.
Time to close this thread.
