Belgium removes Valencian Community from quarantine list

Belgium has removed the Valencian Community from its travel quarantine list – the first of big tourism markets such as the UK, Germany and the Netherlands.

The Belgian government announced this week both the Canary Islands and the Valencian Community (home to Benidorm) would be exempt from quarantine restrictions.

Belgium has to date had one of the strictest quarantines on travellers from Spain, requiring them to quarantine and take a PCR test for COVID-19.

The rest of Spain remains ‘red’ on the Belgian government’s travel warnings.

It comes as the Valencian Community has recorded the lowest COVID-19 caseload in all of Spain for the 2nd day in a row.

Yesterday’s daily update (Thursday) registered 42 cases per 100,000 inhabitants over the last 7 days in the Valencian Community – the lowest in all of Spain.
