The Health Minister Salvador Illa unveiled new measures to be enforced nationwide, overriding those of Catalonia. Spain has banned smoking in the street within two metres of another person, and closed nightclubs and late-night bars.

Spain has declared a new state of emergency after a spike in coronavirus cases and a significant increase in hospital pressure throughout country. A 23.00 to 06.00 curfew is in place for at least 15 days, and likely to be extended for six months, until May 9, 2021. Regions have the power to limit movement in and out of their territories, and could also extend the curfew by an hour on either end depending on local conditions.

Catalonia has announced a ban on entering or exiting its territory for 15 days, the latest in a series of restrictions including a 15-day shutdown of bars and restaurants, a 22.00-06.00 nightly curfew and municipal confinement during the weekend. There are some curfew exceptions including essential workers. All establishments open to the public (shops, sports facilities) must close at 21.00, except those for cultural activities (cinemas and theatres), which may end at 22.00. The attending public must return to their homes before 23.00. Bars and restaurants must finish their food delivery services at 22.00. Sports training is not considered an exception, so athletes must also end their activity to arrive home by 22.00. Public transportation will be kept open to ensure mobility for people with essential services returning home.

Most regions in Spain have now made the use of face masks obligatory in both indoor and outdoor public spaces, even when social distancing of 1.5 metres is observed. Penalties may be imposed if you do not comply.

The UK FCO advises against non-essential travel to mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands based on the current assessment of COVID-19 risks. The Canary Islands are exempt. The requirement to self-isolate on return to the UK from the Canary Islands has been lifted. You must still self-isolate if returning to the UK from any other part of Spain.

The governments of Austria and Denmark have issued travel alerts for Spain. Norway has advised its nationals not to travel abroad due to the increase in infections. France has advised its citizens against travel to Catalonia and Aragon due to the epidemic situation. Hungary requires travellers arriving from Spain to take a negative PCR test or quarantine. Swiss health authorities have imposed a 10-day quarantine on travellers from Spain with the exception of the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands. The German government has advised against non-essential travel to the Spanish regions of Aragon, Catalonia and Navarra. The Dutch government has advised against all non-essential travel to Barcelona and urged its citizens to immediately return to the Netherlands and quarantine. Slovenia has imposed a quarantine on travellers from Valencia, Catalonia, the Basque Country, Aragon and Navarra.

Arrivals from the United Kingdom are not required to self-isolate on arrival but will be subject to a series of three health checks. These checks involve:

• providing the Spanish Ministry of Health with contact information and any history of exposure to COVID-19 by following the instructions on the Spain Travel Health website or downloadable app 48 hours prior to travel. It is mandatory for all passengers travelling to Spain to fill out and sign the online form associated with your trip, regardless of your nationality or residency status. On completion, you will be issued a personal and non-transferable QR code which you must show (electronically or hardcopy) at airport health controls on arrival;
• a temperature reading;
• a visual health assessment.
