It seemed that we had left Covid-19 behind, but the appearance of a new variant again shows us that it has not yet completely gone, and that we must continue to take care of ourselves, even in cases where you are already vaccinated. The new variant called Omicron has arrived in the United Kingdom, which has made this country take a step back in the measures adopted for travelers. Specifically, the mandatory nature of the PCR test returns two days after arrival in the British country and it will be necessary to keep quarantine until confirming that it has been negative. These new requirements will be mandatory regardless of whether travelers are vaccinated or not.
Likewise, the red list grows again with the incorporation of new countries, denominated as dangerous or high risk, Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Zambia, Zimbabwe and, of course, South Africa, where they were detected the first cases of this new variant.
“People will be able to continue traveling, but we are going to implement new preventive and temporary measures,” said the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, in a press conference that he offered urgently after knowing two cases of this new strain in England . These are two people who had recently traveled to southern Africa.
As far as Spain is concerned, it has been announced by the Government that British tourists will only be able to travel if they have a vaccination certificate recognized by the Ministry of Health. Measure that will apply from December 1.
