Spain Implements Triple Health Check for All Incoming Travelers

Travelers must fill out a document containing location data and personal information about COVID-19, the minister specified at a press conference.

They must also undergo a temperature check and a visual check, he added. The passenger who shows suspicious symptoms "will be evaluated by a doctor," explained Salvador Illa.

"There will be enough staff to subject all travelers to the three primary checks," he assured, adding that there will no longer be "massive" PCR tests on all people arriving in the country. Also, the quarantine imposed since May 15 on travelers arriving in Spain will be lifted on June 21.

Spain has also decided to reopen its borders to travelers from non-European countries such as Morocco where the epidemiological situation is under control or more favorable than in the EU.
