The FCDO has changed its guidance for the popular holiday hotspot
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has updated its travel guidance for Spain as the country makes a change to coronavirus rules. The Spanish government has approved a measure to remove the requirement to wear face masks in pharmacies and health and care centres.
It means the country has effectively declared an end to the health crisis caused by coronavirus. Over the past two years the country has gradually phased out mandatory mask wearing. The need to wear masks in public was removed at first, followed by the requirement to wear them on public transport. Now visitors to pharmacies and other healthcare settings will no longer need to wear a mask.Following the change, the FCDO said: “The Spanish government has declared an end to the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and has lifted all compulsory requirements to wear face coverings.
Since 2020 Spain has registered 14 million cases and 122,000 deaths from coronavirus. Additional guidance on the FCDO’s Spain page states that if you have symptoms or test positive for Covid-19 during your stay, you won’t be required to self-isolate. It’s always important to check the FCDO for the latest advice before you travel.
