Madrid:
Spain remains a “safe” destination for tourists despite a worrying increase in coronavirus infections in parts of the country, the government insisted on Tuesday.
The remarks came after Britain reimposed a 14-day quarantine on anyone arriving from Spain, and France and Germany warned against travel to parts of the country following a increase in cases.
“We want to send a clear message of confidence to our country,” government spokeswoman Maria Jesus Montero said after the weekly cabinet meeting.
“We are a safe destination that has prepared and grown stronger to deal with the virus and any epidemic.”
One of Spain’s strengths is the quality of its health system, she said.
“One proof that this is working well is that regions are detecting cases early and activating isolation and containment measures,” Montero said, indicating that half of the cases diagnosed were asymptomatic.
“All the figures show that the situation is good in most of the country, where regional authorities have recorded only a low incidence of the disease.”
