People may sit at an outdoor seating section of a restaurant that reopened for the first time in more than 2 months amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, at Plaza Mayor Square in Madrid, Spain, May 25, 2020, but is it safe to travel?

MADRID (Reuters) – Foreign tourists can book vacations in Spain from July as the two-week self-quarantine for overseas travellers is likely to be suspended by then, the tourism minister said on Monday.

One of the worst-hit nations in the world from the coronavirus, tourism-dependent Spain is gradually easing a strict lockdown though it has kept a quarantine for visitors so as to prevent a second wave of infections.

“It is perfectly coherent to plan summer vacations to come to Spain in July,” Reyes Maroto said in an interview with local radio station Onda Cero.

What the Minister fails to recognize is that getting to Spain will be dangerous in and of itself as tourist start cramming into busy airports, border inspections, wait in one line after another, and finally board their plane. Then we have the situation of a plane full of other Tourists and one just might be infected with the coronavrius ( Covid-19 ). All it takes is one and you have a situation of 300 other passangers being infected on their arrival to Spain.

AXJ.TRAVEL is cautioning all it's Members world wide to obtain any and all information possible from all the authorities and travel companies, and take all the precautions possible before thinking of buying a ticket or boarding a plane. It is better to be safe than sorry.
