Spain

Grandetante great helpful ideas from our European neighbours!

Here (Denmark) you can be tested before re-entering the country, if you choose to go abroad.

If masks are made compulsory in Spain people will be fined for not wearing them.

In Germany you have to wear a mask in shops, on public transport in taxis and libraries. If not, you are asked to leave.

Oh BlueBelle … how awful for you friend!
I take it you don't think the shingles vaccine is very reliable then?

It seems my ex is flying to Spain in a few weeks. He’s thrilled at the cheap flight. His sons are cross with him taking this risk.
When they mentioned quarantining on his return he says “no I won’t have to as I haven’t got the virus.” ??

I really wouldn’t hold your breath for a vaccine Wwm2
any vaccine rushed through I wouldn’t trust My friend has had the shingles Vaccine (as I have too) but has just had shingles so badly in her face and head

I d love to see the Brits after wearing masks for two weeks sunburnt to the nose then white ever after ???

We aren’t travelling abroad this year as it means flying, and that is a definite no in such a confined area. Think of the airports too?.

We have postponed until September 2021, hopefully fully protected with a vaccine ?

I did read that the government were considering using a test system for people coming to the UK which would make sense.

Money talks.
?

The test sounds better than the improbable quarantine imposed in the U.K. But as I said on other posts, mask wearing seems to be universally accepted in the Mediterranean countries.

We're hopefully heading off to our villa in the Canaraies. I must find out when we can go there

My DM lives in Spain (Mallorca). They are all obviously conflicted there - the vast majority of jobs and the economy depend on tourism, but they don't want the virus to take off again.
They have been told that tourists will wear face masks at all times and social distance. Can't see that happening myself!
