Belgium, Germany Warns Citizens about Traveling to Catalonia or Cantabria

Belgium and Germany have announced new warnings against travelling to Catalonia and Cantabria. Berlin has added these two communities to the “red list” of places most at risk due to the coronavirus while Brussels has asked its citizens not to travel to Catalonia if they are not fully vaccinated and to use “common sense” during their travels this summer.

The escalation of covid infections among the younger population still does not translate directly into an increase in hospital pressure but it is already being noticed in tourism, at the moment in the two communities where the accumulated incidence is the most out of control. Catalonia and Cantabria exceeded 1,000 cases per 100,000 inhabitants among the population aged 20 to 29 and 700 among the cohort aged 12 to 19 on Friday, July 2.

As reported by 20 Minutos, this shows that the rapid worsening of the situation in Spain draws the attention of other European countries, which are also large sources of tourists to the Spanish market, something especially necessary given the practical absence of British tourists. In addition to Germany and Belgium, France is also closely monitoring the evolution of the pandemic in Spain, although for now it has not wanted to take measures or issue any warning to its population.
