London, July 26 (RHC)-- Britain's government has announced that all travellers from Spain arriving after midnight (23:00 GMT) on Saturday will need to spend two weeks in quarantine in case they are infected with coronavirus, the Sunday Times newspaper reported.
The announcement dealt a major blow to Spain, which is trying to recoup its tourism season after the sector took a battering from coronavirus lockdowns and travel restrictions earlier in the year.
"Second wave of COVID-19 there has prompted decision to kick Spain off the safe country list," the newspaper's political editor, Tim Shipman, said on Twitter.
