The French Prime Minister, Jean Castex , recommended this Friday to his fellow citizens not to travel to Catalonia due to the outbreaks of the Covid-19 registered in recent days and until the health situation improves in that autonomous community.
"The situation in Catalonia shows degraded health indicators. We strongly recommend French citizens to avoid moving there as long as the situation in that territory does not improve," Castex said in a few brief statements to the press at Roissy-Charles De Gaulle airport, the main paris airport
Castex made these remarks after attending a Defense Council meeting led by French President Emmanuel Macron, in which the situation of the pandemic in France was analyzed. The Prime Minister explained that, through the French Foreign Ministry, they are in contact with the Spanish and Catalan authorities to ensure that the flow of travelers from Spain to France "is as limited as possible."
Despite the worsening of the health situation in Catalonia, the French Government has not decreed the closure of borders, as the press speculated on both sides of the Pyrenees.
Castex knows Catalonia well because before being appointed prime minister he was mayor of Prades (Prada in Catalan), a town of 6,000 inhabitants in the eastern Pyrenees, near the Spanish border.
