A senior official said on Monday that around 5,000 people are in quarantine in Spain following the holiday of high school students. The party fueled a COVID-19 outbreak on the Mediterranean island of Mallorca. Spain’s Emergency Health Response Co-ordinator Fernando Simon said that authorities have confirmed about 1,200 corona positive cases from this outbreak.
Simon told a press conference that teenagers celebrating the end of their university entrance exams last week gave the virus a ‘proper place’ to grow. They mingled with other people from Spain and abroad and everyone partyed. Mallorca health officials conducted large-scale tests on hundreds of students after the corona cases came to light.
There may be a risk of community transmission
Hundreds of students are believed to have gathered at a concert and street parties to party. The authorities have so far traced 5,126 passengers in Mallorca. More than 900 corona cases have been confirmed in eight regions of Spain. Many infected teens are still on the island. Some have been kept in isolation in their hotel rooms while others have been taken to hotels being used by local authorities for isolation of people with mild symptoms or suspected cases.
Simon noted that the parents of the teens are probably around 45 to 55 years old and that not everyone in this age group has received both doses of the corona vaccine, which could pose a risk of community transmission. According to the news from Madrid, Spain and Portugal have imposed new restrictions on travelers from Britain.
Must show vaccination certificate
Portugal says they should go into isolation for two weeks until they have proof of complete vaccination against COVID-19. The policy became effective from Monday. On the other hand, in Spain, people arriving in the Balearic Islands from Britain from Thursday must show a certificate of complete vaccination against COVID-19 or have a negative PCR report.
