The government of Spain has announced that foreign
travellers will no longer be required to undergo a 14-day quarantine period from
1 July.
Self-isolation measures for anyone arriving from outside of Spain
were introduced earlier this month, with only freight workers, cabin crew,
healthcare professionals and cross-border workers exempted from the rule.
It comes as several European airlines such as Ryanair, Wizz
Air and Lufthansa are planning to restart flights to the popular holiday
destination for the summer period. Experts say the move is crucial to
supporting the country*s economy, which is heavily dependent on tourism in the
summer months.
On the contrary, the UK government is going ahead with plans
to enforce a 14-day quarantine on international arrivals from 8 June, to the
dismay of the travel industry.
