UK quarantine constraints unjust - Spanish PM
UK government decision to impose a bi weekly quarantine on everyone arriving from Spain was "unjust", the country's prime minister has said.
Pedro Sánchez said travelers generally in most Spanish regions will be safer from coronavirus than in the UK, and he was first hoping Britain would rethink its approach.
He said talks were ongoing following the UK also advised against all but essential happen to be the whole of Spain.
Labour said the government's handling of the restrictions had been "chaotic".
But the UK federal government said it does not have any plans to change its decision to reintroduce the quarantine steps from carry on Sunday - with Boris Johnson's official spokesman warning that "no travel is risk-free during this pandemic".
On Monday, the Foreign Office also extended its travelling advice for Spain, nowadays telling people in order to avoid non-essential journeys to the Canary and Balearic Islands, and mainland Spain.
But some travel companies mention they are struggling to understand the logic of the united kingdom government's advice, since the islands have lower coronavirus infection prices.
Rory Boland, editor which? Travel said: "Thousands of UK holidaymakers in Spain or around to fly happen to be utterly confused."
'UK error'
Within an interview with the Telecinco TV network, Mr Sánchez said he was hoping to convince the united kingdom to invert its decision to eliminate Spain from the list of countries exempt from quarantine tips.
He said: "We are talking with British authorities to get them to reconsider a measure that, inside our opinion, is not well adjusted if we consider epidemiological requirements of Spain, particularly in a few tourist destinations in our country."
Spain's primary minister said the united kingdom had made an "error" by considering the infection rate for the whole country.
He added that "64.5% of the new cases registered are in two territories" and in most of Spain the prevalence of Covid-19 was "quite definitely inferior compared to the numbers registered in britain".
The rate of infection in Spain is 35.1 cases per 100,000 people, while the UK is at 14.7, in line with the latest numbers from the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control.
While the outbreak remains in order in many elements of Spain, certain areas - specifically Catalonia in the north-east and the neighbouring location of Aragón - have observed a huge spike in infections.
Data up to 19 July suggested there have been lower costs of infection in the Balearic and Canary Islands than in mainland Spain.
Travellers returning to the united kingdom from anywhere in Spain must at this point self-isolate for two weeks at a registered address.
Holiday firms Jet2 and Tui were among those to announce sweeping trip cancellations following a UK announcement.
EasyJet, British Airways, and Ryanair said they might continue to operate whole schedules of flights to Spain, though EasyJet said its holiday seasons will be cancelled for another few weeks.
Among the thousands damaged by the change in travel advice was Tom Clasby, who had checked into an airport hotel near Stansted along with his fiancé, their two daughters, and other family, ahead of any occasion to Majorca.
