Spain imposes more travel restrictions

Following the lead of several other European countries, Spain yesterday announced that it is to introduce more travel restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of new strains of Covid-19 in the country.

Spain has made the decision to impose restrictions on inbound flights coming from both Brazil and South Africa. In doing so, the country hopes to avoid importing cases of the more-virulent and more easily transmitted strains of Covid-19, with two particularly prominent strains originating in these countries and already causing a rise in cases in other countries around the world. The news follows four Brazilian travelers testing positive for Covid-19 in Madrid airport on Monday.
