Spain continues to try to convince the United Kingdom to save those who arrive in Great Britain from the two Spanish archipelagos: the Balearic and Canary Islands, from the mandatory quarantine to which they want to subject travelers from Spain . This morning, epidemiological experts from both countries met to analyze the data from these two communities. Foreign Minister Arancha González Laya has said to wait from Ankara (Turkey) that these negotiations "bear fruit soon."

The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs allege before the British authorities two reasons to exempt the Balearic and Canary Islands. Firstly, these are islands that are easily isolated and separated from the peninsula, with much more limited movement. Second, and much more importantly, the Government claims that the epidemiological data for the two regions is much better than that of the United Kingdom. So Spain sees no reason to maintain any quarantine with the islands.

The United Kingdom is the main issuer of foreign tourists to Spain, since 18 million Britons come to our country every year. The Balearic and Canary Islands, along with the Costa del Sol and the Costa Blanca , are the English's favorite destination in Spain.

From Turkey, where González Laya is on an official visit, the Foreign Minister has recalled that since the Government of Boris Johnson announced the quarantine, the Executive immediately began to dialogue with London with two objectives: "to clarify epidemiological data" and " explain the steps being taken to trace the contacts and isolate the sick with tough and effective measures. "

Foreign Affairs is transmitting to the United Kingdom that "Spain is a safe country" and that the high number of outbreaks also responds to the "exhaustive" epidemiological surveillance that is being carried out. A proof of this, they assure from the Executive, is that more than half of the detected cases are of asymptomatic patients.

Furthermore, the Government also alleges that the health situation is being good. Right now, Covid-19's critically ill beds are below 1,600 and critically ill at 160. In the past seven days, 10 people have died of coronavirus. At the peak of the pandemic, Spain touched 1,000 deaths daily.
