The Spanish government has changed its passenger requirements for Covid-19 for anyone arriving from China, and is looking to do the same "at a European level". Earlier this year, health bosses dropped a number of its coronavirus restrictions in a bid to boost tourism again.
The Liverpool Echo says that as of May fully-vaccinated travellers could enter the country without taking a test. Previously, those who were not fully-vaccinated were not allowed to visit Spain but in May the rules changed so that this group of people would instead have to show a negative test on arrival.
However, health minister Carolina Darias told reporters on Friday that Spain would require all air passengers coming from China to have negative Covid-19 tests or proof of vaccination. She did not specify when the new requirement will take effect. Spain made the announcement after Italy said it would require coronavirus tests for airline passengers from China.
