Germany, the second most important market for Spanish tourism after the UK, has removed Spain from the list of high-risk countries for COVID-19.
According to the latest report from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), which is responsible for disease control and prevention in the country, Spain will no longer be on the list as of tomorrow, Sunday, meaning that travellers returning to Germany from Spain will no longer have to quarantine or test negative for coronavirus on entry.
According to the agency, high-risk areas are areas where the cumulative incidence “significantly exceeds” 100 cases per 100,000 inhabitants over the past seven days, or where “a high risk of COVID-19 infection is assumed”, according to the weekly reports published by the institute.
In Spain, the cumulative 7-day incidence does not exceed 100 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in most regions, such as Madrid, the Balearic Islands and Catalonia.
