It comes amid a surge in coronavirus cases in China
Spain will be updating its Covid-19 regulations, as a health official has announced that travellers from China will need either a negative Covid-19 test or proof of vaccination. This comes amid a surge in cases in the country.
As reported by the Liverpool Echo, Ms Darias did not specify when the reintroduced regulations will take effect. Similar measures for UK travellers were only recently axed in October in a bid to boost tourism. Ms Darias said: "There exists a shared concern internationally and nationally over the evolution of cases in China and the difficulty to make a correct evaluation of the Covid-19 situation given the scant information that we have available."
