@morgan. Your 1st paragraph backs up my sarcastic comment. How do you rationalise the under 12 policy....does spain think their lives are worth nothing? Or due to the low death rate it's ok to gamble with their lives aswell as those they come into contact with. At the end of the day nothing stops covid, even an endless stream of boosters of an untested vaccine.
Sir Pure BloodWell, except for the numerous under 12's who've died from it, of course. But yes, as most people have been fully vaccinated, it's no longer quite the public threat it used to be. And it's a bit silly to not be required to wear masks in other enclosed spaces, yet still mandatory on public transport. BTW, you still have to wear them on planes, regardless of where the flight originates from, or what nationality is on your passport - it's not a solely Spanish thing, nor exclusive to Brits. But it easily serves the "punishment of Brits" wishful thinking. You don't have to think at all to buy into it. Easy peasy.
Sir Pure Blood@ sir, sorry 12yrs and under.
It is a proven medical fact that 13yrs and under can neither contract or spread their covid infections......is this a government conspiracy theory??
Yes the restrictions may seem unnecessary to many, myself included, but they apply to all non EU travellers not just the UK. The MDB continues to imply, at every opportunity, that every Spanish rule is anti British. What a poor excuse for a news source this really is.
Morgan WilliamsIf you are British, probably more so?
“restrictions in place for non-EU travellers including those from the United Kingdom.” Yet your article headline tries to imply that the Spanish are punishing only Brits. It’s the worst case of clickbait I have seen this year, and you ought to be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves, MDB.
It doesn't matter what the laws are in any country or who it applies to. If it inconveniences Brits, it's unfair.
Zoltan TeglasI don't see anyone "whinging".....on here? As, long as you have the paperwork to prove you have been vaccinated, or even if you haven't and had the all clear, you can still travel to Spain can you not? I don't see why you assume this has anything to do with people complaing about the consequences of Brexit? The story is simply about Spain's restrictions for ALL Countries outside of the EU, and why this is. The answer is easy when you notice that the public are still required to wear masks on Public transport in Spain when it ha, been near abolished everywhere else in the World.
Sir Pure BloodWell, the vaccines saved me and numerous others I know. So, untested or not, it seems to work.
