"Still have to quarantine and have 2 tests on your return regardless what Spain allows. " Yes that’s true, but things are definitely going in the right direction. Today the @boegob publishes the order of the central government that includes the United Kingdom in the list of countries exempt from restrictions to travel to Spain. Good news for tourism in the Canary Islands. Now the decision is in the hands of the British government: we trust it will include us soon. | |||

"The .gov web site has been saying that for weeks. Get regular updates in ref to spain and since at least december title say essential travel only to spain and the balierics but exclunding the canaries. Just need uk gov to clarify canaries on green list " Hopefully that’s going to happen on the next update, but we will need to wait and see. 2000 live cases over 2.1 Million people is not much. Next week we will have done over 1,000,000 jabs. The 70% target of adults are 1.300,000. There is not much more we can do..... | |||

"My head hurts , so if the canaries get put on the green light , do you still need to do the tests before you go and before you return home " I can't find anything on the FCO site to the contrary, check with your airline | |||

"Well from Monday people can travel to Gran Canaria with negative test and isolation when they get home. I don't think it will be long before we are on the Green List though. It won't take long for the airlines to open flights once that's all done. Some people like going abroad for holidays and it will be worth the wait and expense for them to do so

"Well countries like Germany and the Netherlands have decalared the Canaries green. So you have to ask whether the exclusion of Canaries from the green list was because of infection rates in the Canaries or whether it was a tit for tat reaction to Spain blocking all incoming since December. If this the case and you want to forego your holiday because of petty politics, that's your choice. We will toast our absent friends from Kiosk 6 "Germany have declared the UK red from Sunday.  | |||

"Well UK Gov email update about travel to Spain, in particular GC, - ALL travel to the island is allowed without COVID-19 test -Antigen may test needed for any tourist accommodation no more than 72 hrs before arrival -If you have travelled to or from or through a red list country in the past 14 days you DO need a negative COVID-19 test result -Passenger locator form must be filled out no more than 48 hrs before travel -Isolation and COVID-19 test when back in the UK. As it stands here... -Masks on when outside, in shops and supermarkets. -Masks can be removed when eating and or drinking but put back on when leaving the table (eg: going to the bar, toilet, leaving the establishment or to pay) -Inside eating and drinking allowed with 4 people to a table. 6 people on an outside table. -No curfew but pubs, clubs and restaurants must be closed and empty of customers by midnight. You are allowed to walk home (wearing a mask) or wait for a taxi. No congregation on the streets any other time after midnight. That's the gist. Not too sure how the lifestyle clubs are operating as have been far too busy to go to one but I'm sure you sexy lot can find out "I have 2 questions. When are bars able to open for longer than 12? Is there any type of plan for coming out of lockdown in Spain. Mainly regarding masks being worn outside? | |||

"There will be a plan for both but no-one seems to know when. I suspect the government will wait and see how the infection numbers go and also how letting the tourists back goes as well. If UK tourists can come withoit PCR testing that may change" Had a meeting with my company yesterday and as it stands for canary islands. Once we it goes green, you need to have a PLF (passenger locator form) completed where you are staying for tracing purposes. You need to have proof on the NHS app that you have had the vaccines. NO need for test when travelling to canary Islands, but on return, to the UK you will need to have a test done which a lateral flow is sufficient at a clinic which has been stamped by a professional as proof it was you. | |||

"I must say that i think allowing anyone in without a test is a risk not worth taking. At the very least, visitors should have had both vaccines. Things can go downhill very quickly so caution is best way to go." I agree. A test is essential whether you have come from or travelled through a red country or not. Alot of people we have spoken to over here don't agree with that part of it but we shall see won't we? Lets hope it doesn't bite us back. | |||

"FCDO state the following: In some parts of Spain, a negative COVID-19 may be required when checking in to tourist accommodation. This currently applies in the Canary Islands. Children under the age of 6 are exempt from testing. Tests permitted are PCR (RT-PCR for COVID-19), Transcription Mediated Amplification (TMA), and Antigen tests. You should check with your accommodation provider prior to travel." Antigen, £40 and an hour turnaround at the airport. Sorted. | |||

Another poster asked exactly what proof is needed - it is a good question, but no one answered. The antigen tests are DIY, so could you just take the test in reception? Or do you need a piece of paper or other official proof?
The answer given is contact your hotel and find out what they will accept as proof because in lieu of official guidelines as to what qualifies, this is subjective and may differ from one accommodation to another.
Thanks, let's hope Venus are not too strict
Venus have been open and running for quite some time now and require a PCR test even for day visitors. "Thanks for that info. It's a bit more hassle, but I suppose it creates a safer environment inside, which is great. We'll check nearer the time to see if their rules have changed and if they will accept antigen tests. | |||

"This was my point earlier. What exact proof is needed? My accommodation has said the Spanish health form plus evidence of my vaccination is enough for them. However that might not be enough for another hotel. There seems to be no official standard as it stands. " All the hotel wants is to not get fined. They don’t want the antigen test system any more than you do. But this is very different from say, the airlines who are very happy not to fly you once they have your money. Also if your test is insufficient then it isn't the end of the world. You just go to the nearest clinic and get one. What I would do if I were travelling now, is I would send my test results to the hotel as soon as I got them and would ask if they considered that sufficient proof and take doubt out of the equation. | |||

"Do a home test, report the result on the NHS website, get an NHS email confirming your test is negative. Free. Sorted.
Don't forget it has to be within 72 hrs.
Wouldn't be risking it
This test isn't asked for at Border Control, it's asked for at the accommodation. Meaning that it can be done at last minute if need be.

The test gives everyone peace of mind so you can just relax and enjoy | |||

"Thanks for all the info Edens. "No worries. Travellers staying with friends or family should also be aware that there are new laws regarding the need to have an official invitation. I say this because at some stage Border Control may start asking for return tickets, proof of accommodation etc. | |||

"From an informative article posted last year... Which tests are valid? A diagnostic test carried out within the last 72 hours for an active infection, which shows that the tourist is not a positive COVID-19 carrier. The test must be approved by the health authorities of your country or the European Union. Only RT-PCR and antigen tests are valid. Alternatively, the tourist can prove that he has passed the disease by presenting a serological certificate confirming that he has developed IgG antibodies. How should the certificate be? The certificate can be presented in digital or paper form and must include the following information: date and time of the test realisation, the identity data of the person, the laboratory responsible for authenticity and verification and the negative result. What if they don't bring the test? The tourist accommodation will deny access to people who lack the diagnostic test and will inform about the nearby places where the test can be performed. Exceptionally, if the tourist cannot prove the test, but shows his availability to take it, he will be able to access and spend the night for the time necessary to obtain the results, although he will not be able to leave his room other than to take the test and collect the results. What if they test positive? If a positive case is detected, the health authorities will be immediately informed by telephone 900 112 061 (112 for assistance in other languages), who will decide the place of transfer according to their symptoms. *** This was relevant last year. I am not aware of any changes. It's also translated *** " Perfect.....exactly what I needed. Ta muchly | |||

"The Independent is now reporting that the next Green List Announcement will happen on the 3rd of June and be effective from the 10th of June. Fingers crossed, that the canaries are included this time " Shapps has said the islands will be evaluated separately this but it's down to a report from Biosecurity to decide whether Canaries have sufficient infection rate data and strain detection mechanisms. Wait and see I guess. | |||
