Travel rules for entry into Spain have been prolonged for another week for passengers arriving from most EU nations.
Tourists visiting Spain from Member States and the Schengen Area will continue to be subject to the requirements until February 20.
These measures were extended on February 14 with Ireland among the countries affected.
As SchengenVisaInfo.com reports, Spanish authorities said the risk list countries until February 20 are: "Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechia, Cyprus, Germany, Croatia, Denmark, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Malta, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, and Sweden.
Meanwhile, the Department of Foreign Affairs still advises people travelling from Ireland to Spain to exercise a 'high degree of caution'.
The current rules for entry to the popular holiday destination say that in addition to passengers having an EU Digital Covid Certificate, they must also complete a Health Control Form before their departure.
Both arrivals with and without a Covid cert must have this health form filled out.
It comes after the easing of more Covid restrictions in Spain took effect in recent days as the country continues to lift public health measures.
Tourists will no longer have to wear masks outdoors after the strict rule was dropped.
From last Thursday, people are no longer required to don a face covering on the street.
The move comes after new EU-wide rules came into effect on February 1.
The measures say that a 270-day validity period is now applied to EU Covid Certs.
This means that for people who were vaccinated over nine months ago and have not had a booster, they will not be allowed to enter other EU countries such as Spain.
As for travellers who have recently recovered from infection, they must prove they have a recovery cert within the last 180 days or a negative test result.
People who have availed of their booster jabs will be able to travel using their updated certs.
