Spain to allow foreign tourists from 1 July

Spain is to begin opening up to foreign tourists from 1 July.

The clarification comes after the country's tourism minister initially said, on Thursday, that restrictions on land borders would be lifted from 22 June.

The EU Commissioner for Home Affairs has called on states in the bloc to reopen their internal borders by the end of this month.

Spain has recorded almost 28,000 deaths and more than 233,000 cases since the coronavirus outbreak there began.

EU puts 13 UK airports on 'high risk' list

An EU aviation body has placed 13 UK airports on a list of “high-risk” transport hubs, yet only two from France.

The list, put together by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), highlights the airports from which aircraft should be subject to heightened disinfection.

However, some countries, including Greece and the Netherlands, are using the list to inform travel restrictions and other measures on arrivals, which the EASA has spoken out against.
