"Ffs a synopsis of any link put up should be mandatory. " Travellers returning to the UK from Spain will have to quarantine for 14 days from Sunday, the BBC understands. It is believed the measures will come into force in the early hours of Sunday. The UK government is expected to announce the change imminently, due to a significant spike in coronavirus cases in Spain. Spain has warned a second wave could be imminent as cities including Madrid and Barcelona have seen cases surge. | |||

"I wonder why this new spike is happening ? Is it air conditioning perhaps as spain has been experiencing some very high temperatures recently ?" The rise in cases has been mainly in the younger age bracket, hence the closing down of clubs, etc., as view is that they've been partying in bars, clubs and on beaches without practising social distancing... | |||

Had all our flights cancelled that we had booked even our end of August one cancelled the other day by Jet2 so we can’t even get out there let alone pass anything on Lol. The forum was relating to a place in Spain being locked down that as very few Brit visitors but we still get the blame, nothing to do with the Spanish that live inland now deciding to holiday and hit the clubs on the coast of course. | |||

"I'm Spanish and this is the very first time I learn that people in Spain blame the UK for the spikes. In the Spanish media and in theconversations with friends and family about, the blame on UK is still to appear (if it, some time, does it so).

"Is it a British thing ? Why is there a need to apportion blame ? We are in a pandemic, we have a new disease that we are struggling to understand and come to terms with. We have locked down the world to try to slow the virus and give us a chance to understand and now we are unlocking the world and trying to deal with the consequences of doing so. Mistakes have been made and more will doubtless be made but here is a other part of the learning process and it seems that some people again feel the need to blame someone else. Grow up people, accept responsibility for your own actions, learn from your mistakes and from the inevitable mistakes of others and stop the blame game. " | |||

I don't know where your father in law lives but I can assure you that is not the case where we are, nor in Benidorm where we have just spent a couple of days. In the Torrevieja area it is almost 100% compliance and the very few who we see not wearing masks are mostly young Spanish. Ditto Benidorm. We have been here 4 weeks and have yet to see anyone arguing about masking up. | |||

"Just been on a Spanish forum I use and they are blaming the Brit’s for Spain’s second wave, which is about the norm from the expats over there. To be honest the father in law lives over there and has said since the brits could start coming again they have come, ingored rules moaned and argued when told to mask up.. people are dicks!!! I don't know where your father in law lives but I can assure you that is not the case where we are, nor in Benidorm where we have just spent a couple of days. In the Torrevieja area it is almost 100% compliance and the very few who we see not wearing masks are mostly young Spanish. Ditto Benidorm. We have been here 4 weeks and have yet to see anyone arguing about masking up." Totally agree got back from my place on the costa del sol this week and didnt see BRITS ignoring rules and arguing about wearing masks. | |||

"When you get home, its 2 week quarantine yet you CANNOT claim ssp UNLESS you show symptoms. This leads me to wonder how many will falsely claim to have symptoms to get ssp, this leading to a spike powered by what are essentially false positives, this leading to more lockdowns over here." Spot on. I think the employer should pay them and maybe take 2 weeks off any further holidays...but I dont know how that could work for zero hour workers. But if we are going down this route we need a plan...and enforcement of the plan. | |||

"Well anyone who has travelled there for hols is in for a bit of a shock when they get back! That’s the chance you take when you just have to go abroad " The alternative would have been to loose all their money paid if they had booked months before COVID took hold. Very unfortunate situation.. | |||

"They're reviewing the list of countries each week, so it may not stay on it for too long. " Most likely daily reviews, it’s an ever changing situation. | |||

"Well anyone who has traveled there for holls is in for a bit of a shock when they get back! That’s the chance you take when you just have to go abroad And how many will throw their toys out of their prams, and demand that the government pays for everything... ....more worrying is how many will ignore the quarantine, and return to work etc..." Inevitable as people have lost the ability of taking responsibility for their actions. I'm going on holiday in the middle of a pandemic but you have to fly me back when I want: that's my right!
Unless they don't work, you tell your colleagues where you're going for holiday and you won't be able to return to work. | |||

And then complain when there's no money to pay nurses more. Just whose money do people think is paying for this additional paid holiday? If people are genuinely so stupid to travel overseas in the middle of a global pandemic, where the situation in almost every country is changing on a daily basis, then there should be no surprises when situations change. Ffs take some responsibility for your own decisions and behaviour and stop expecting the tax payer to bail everyone out. | |||

Average person gets 5 to 6 weeks leave a year. So they want a fortnight's holiday but something goes wrong and they have to have 14 days of work to quarantine...employer shouldn't have to pay because they chose to go on holiday through a pandemic...so they lose a further 2 weeks from that 5-6 weeks annual leave.

"Instead of quarantining arrivals from Spain why not use some of the unused testing capacity the government says they have. Test on arrival then again after a week etc." But they'd still need to quarantine after testing due to delay between infection & being detectable. | |||

"Transport Minister , Grant Shapps will have to go in quarantine when he returns from his Spanish holiday ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, "some people" may have thought that a member of the UK government insisting we leave the EU while seeing the damage that the covid pandemic has caused to our tourist industry might have supported a British hotel , camp site or B&B and spent his holiday money on our shores " And endure yet another grotty wet summer. Maybe he booked it before March. My guess is a lot of people did. Perhaps he has a holiday home there or a friend has ? | |||

Test on arrival then again after a week etc. But they'd still need to quarantine after testing due to delay between infection & being detectable." why though? when the chance of being virus free is just as high as the chance of having the virus (actually probably more) and the chance or having the virus in your body not yet detectable from the holiday is just the same as having the virus in your body not yet detectable from asda people keep going on about the science and yet entirely ignoring the maths ... why are we assuming every single person allowed out in the world poses an immediate risk when something ridiculous like 4% of people are infected? why would we assume a negative test is a false negative from someone that just hasn’t had the virus long enough to detect it ... these people are returning from a beach holiday ... not some virus centre where they were bathed daily in virus particles we are totally ignoring probability and heading straight for worst case scenario because we have now been programmed into irrational fear a test at airport returning, provide your contact details, stay home until you receive a negative result and then if you start to feel unwell self isolate and inform the test and trace people should be more than sufficient | |||
