Spain will make it mandatory for everyone entering the country to enter quarantine for 14 days from Friday in a bid to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
It comes as countries are now beginning to examine their lockdown measures in place from overseas travellers.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced similar measures are set to be introduced here imminently - although it will not apply to people coming from France.
In Spain, the government imposed one of the strictest lockdowns upon its million of residents, with adults only permitted out for essential business.
All restaurants were closed and children under 14 were confined to their homes for six weeks.
Now, as restrictions for residents slowly ease, the government has imposed a mandatory lockdown for travellers entering the country in a bid to curb the spread of the virus.
We've taken a look at what this will mean for people entering the country.
Spain's quarantine rules
Travellers will have to self-isolate for 14 days at their home or a rented property after entering the country from May 15.
Airlines will provide customers with a 'Passenger Location Card' that they must have with them when they enter Spain.
Adults will only be allowed to leave the property for essential grocery shopping, to seek medical care or emergency situations.
Face masks must be worn at all times.
The mandatory quarantine will be enforced for all travellers arriving in Spain between May 15 and May 24 but will likely be extended to the end of June.
Lorry drivers, airplane crews and health professionals will be exempt - unless they have come into contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus.
It comes as the Spanish tourism minister told local paper El Pais about the difficulties of reopening borders.
Reyes Maroto told local newspaper El Pais : "We have to guarantee, when international tourism opens, that the person who comes to Spain is a safe person...
"The issue of borders will be accompanied by the evolution of the health crisis.
"Therefore, I do not have the solution of when [they will be able to open].
"On how you will be able to enjoy our beaches, we are defining different scenarios.
"It is very important that the sanitary recommendations are maintained, we are going to have to internalise what we are already doing now, hand washing, social distancing ... even on the beaches.
"Those patterns will be in our day to day for a time, you cannot take a step back."
