People travelling from China to Spain will be required to test negative for COVID-19 or prove they have been fully vaccinated against the disease, Spain's top health official said on Friday.
Earlier this month, China began dismantling the world's strictest COVID regime of lockdowns and extensive testing in an abrupt change of policy.
"At a national level, we will implement airport controls requiring all passengers coming from China to show a negative COVID-19 test or proof of a full vaccination course," Health Minister Carolina Darias told reporters. The new measure comes after the European Union's Health Security Committee met on Thursday to discuss the bloc's common strategy to mitigate the spread of the virus with the influx of visitors from China after the Asian country lifted most of its travel restrictions.
Darias added that Spain would coordinate at a high level with other member countries to adopt a common policy, while pushing for a revision of the current conditions that need to be met by travellers seeking to obtain the EU's so-called Digital COVID Certificate. Earlier, countries such as Italy, South Korea, the United States, India and Japan have imposed mandatory testing for visitors from China.the testing requirements imposed around the world in response to a surging wave of infections were "discriminatory".

Video shows Macau border before zero-Covid policy eased, not 'people fleeing China in December'After China rapidly dismantled key pillars of its zero-Covid strategy in December 2022, a video was shared in social media posts that misleadingly claimed it shows a large crowd clamouring to flee from the southern port city of Zhuhai to the semi-autonomous Chinese city of Macau. The posts were viewed tens of thousands of times but wrongly suggested that the clip shows residents escaping after restrictions were suddenly eased and hospitals became overwhelmed with Covid cases. However, the video shows a crowd at the neighbouring Macau border in November, before restrictions were eased.
