Spain removes Austria from its list of risk areas. As of Monday, Austrians will therefore no longer have to present a negative Corona test when entering the country, even if they have not been vaccinated. In addition to Austria, numerous other EU countries and regions will also be removed from Spain’s list of risk areas because of the low infection figures, as the Ministry of Health in Madrid announced on its website on Friday.
No more negative coronary test needed before traveling to Spain
People living in Austria will be allowed to enter the country without restriction starting Monday. Previously, they had to present a negative corona test, vaccination or recovery certificate upon entry. However, they still have to register online before entering the country and present the QR code upon entry. The new classification will apply from 0 a.m. Monday and initially for one week until June 27. The list of risk areas is updated by Spain once a week.
Spain aims to attract tourists
The Spanish government hopes the number of foreign visitors will reach 60 to 70 percent of pre-pandemic volumes by the end of the year. “Tourism will drive the recovery of our economy,” Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez assured, according to dpa. With a share of around twelve percent of national income, the travel industry was one of the most important sectors of the Spanish economy before Corona.
