The SDLP’s health spokesman Colin McGrath said that immediate testing should be made available to returning Spanish holidaymakers.
“This will be a shock to people returning from Spain in the coming days as they will now have to make arrangements regarding work and other domestic matters and prepare for 14 days of isolation,” he said. “I hope that testing will be made available quickly for these people so a quick result will enable them to return to work sooner,” he said.
“Many people will now have to take the decision not to travel on their holidays and this will be a blow to them. I feel especially for families with children who may now have to explain why they cannot travel,” added Mr McGrath. “This highlights the benefits of a ‘staycationing’ and with the popularity of Spain will be a knock to the tourism industry there and to the travel industry here,” he said.
