Balearics would close ports and airports before home confinement

Finally, yes people arriving in the Balearic Islands from areas with high levels of contagion are more likely to be carrying covid. It’s common sense. Their nationality doesn’t matter. Covid doesn’t care. But that doesn’t mean you need to close the airports. Safe corridors? Testing? Stopping incoming flights from high contagion areas (yes, including Spain). Have we learned nothing in this horrific year? Time to put what we have learned to positive use. Finally??

Domestic tourists from the mainland were never subjected to the same requirements as foreign tourists were over the summer. It’s what drove numbers up and caused the UK and Germany to ban travel here. Everyone was saying this but the authorities did nothing, and still are doing nothing. They will really need to get their act together for next year or we can expect much of the same.

It is really shameful that the Balearic government is not requiring arriving passengers to show a negative PCR test like most other countries. If people coming by plane and boat test negative 48h before traveling there is a lot less chance to transmit the virus. This is so simple to apply as a requirement for travel. Most travelers from the Balearic to rest of the world must have negative PCR. Accepting passengers without pcr test put everyone else at risk. Time to act now Mrs armengol
