Balearic senator demanding an end to random PCR controls

Vidal has expressed his "absolute outrage" at the fact that the exterior health service "only randomly controls the supposedly mandatory PCR that is required of all passengers on international flights that land in the Balearics".

The senator points to controls of national travellers arriving in the Balearics being "exhaustive and correct". These are carried out by the regional health service; all travellers from Spain now need to present a negative PCR test. However, "the same cannot be said for the control of international flights by the exterior health service". "It's deplorable."

He advised the national minister of health, Carolina Darias, "not to play with the lives and health of the citizens of the Balearics". "Strict control is necessary in order to validate that all citizens with non-Spanish passports who get off planes in the Balearics are carrying negative PCR test results."

"It is amazing that, for months, Madrid has made it appear as if it requires negative tests from all foreign visitors when, in reality, the actual control has been totally inefficient."
