LONDON - British junior minister Simon Clarke said the government disagreed with the Spanish prime minister’s assessment that imposing a quarantine on travellers from Spain was disproportionate. “We don’t agree with that assessment,” Clarke, a junior local government minister, told Sky on Tuesday.“Obviously we continue to work very closely with the Spanish authorities and wish them every success in getting this situation under control as quickly as possible,” he said.
Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Monday that Britain made a mistake bringing back the 14-day stay-at home rule, arguing that much of the Mediterranean country had a lower coronavirus infection rate than the UK.
It is... Spain's numbers are distorted by Aragon, Cataluña and a neighbouring community..which are high...the rest of Spain, especially tourist hotspots like Costa Blanca/Costa del Sol are less than anywhere in the UK..with Canaries/Balerics with hardly any cases..
The whole thing is a sham. Just look at how many people/professions are excluded from self isolating. Plus, plenty of countries on the green list with covid spikes - Japan and HK, for example. Thailand and Singapore not on the green list despite having controlled the outbreak.
SAY THAT AGAIN...
