Spain remains the last country in Europe with entry restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Thus, Spain will be the only country in Europe that requires travelers from third countries to provide certificates confirming their vaccination status, absence of disease, or proof of recovery.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 disease began in December 2019 in the Chinese city of Wuhan, and on March 11, 2020, the WHO recognized the coronavirus as a pandemic. As of September 2022, more than 600 million people worldwide have contracted COVID-19, and more than 6.5 million of them have died. The coronavirus pandemic has become one of the deadliest in history.
The field of tourism was perhaps the most affected by the consequences of the pandemic because since March 2020, travel around the world has practically stopped for several months. In the summer of 2020, some countries began to resume tourist travel, albeit with strict restrictions.
By the summer of 2022, most of the countries of the world and, in particular, Europe, have canceled almost all travel restrictions caused by the pandemic, but some countries still left strict quarantine restrictions until the last.
At the moment, the world is recording a surge in the incidence of COVID-19, but so far countries do not plan to return strict restrictions, treating the coronavirus as a seasonal disease.
