This is due to fear of a second wave of coronavirus in Spain. With the increase in tourists, the number of new infections has increased considerably and the British government has decided to revoke the “airspace” agreement.
The mandatory 14-day self-isolation is valid for all returning tourists from all regions of Spain.
Lithuanians returning from Spain you should also isolate from monday.
This decision was unexpected for many and will affect many people who are currently on vacation in a sunny country.
Spain has been considered a safe country to travel for some time, so many UK have planned a vacation there. There are thousands of them there right now, people were traveling with a calm heart as there were no warnings of a possible threat.
However, UK authorities made an unexpected decision on mandatory quarantine on Saturday on the basis that many new cases of Covid-19 were reported in Spain this week.
Residents are outraged that such measures required an early warning, and government officials justify that the latest coronavirus data was only available on Friday and that a “sudden reaction” was necessary.
900 cases of Covid-19 were registered in Spain on Friday, the most since the quarantine ended.
According to the DailyMail portal, hundreds of angry English residents have already encountered each other at Spanish airports, who have had no news after preparing to fly home after the holidays. Thousands more tourists are still on vacation in Spain, and they also don’t hide the fact that the festive atmosphere is completely ruined.
Tourists are more outraged by the fact that they were not warned in advance and did not have at least a few days to prepare to return home. The new mandatory self-isolation rule went into effect in just a few hours.
The UK authorities’ decision is also criticized by tour operators, whose work is fundamentally changed by the new requirement. Some companies have already canceled many scheduled flights and will need to reimburse customers.
The airlines have reacted quickly to the changes and announce that travelers who want to cancel their flight to Spain will have the opportunity to receive a travel voucher. Until now, EasyJet was the first to announce such a possibility.
