Spain has decided to extend the quarantine period for passengers arriving from Brazil and South Africa and extended this measure to ten other countries, including Mozambique, to prevent the spread of new variants of Covid-19.
The quarantine period is extended to people arriving from Botswana, Union of Comoros, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe, Peru and Colombia, the government said.
The quarantine will be mandatory for seven or ten days after arrival for all travellers arriving from these countries, with or without intermediate stopovers, at any Spanish airport.
During the quarantine period, travellers must stay in their home or accommodation and limit access to others.
They will also have to limit their movements to the essentials: shopping for food, pharmaceuticals or necessities; attendance at health centres or in cases of force majeure.
The measure was adopted in light of concerns about the effects of Covid-19 variants, both in terms of their impact (increased transmissibility) and their extension to countries close to where they were first detected, many of which have limited surveillance, detection and reporting capacity under international health regulations.
