Covid-19 update in Spain for the beginning of the school year

In order to face the virus and limit the introduction of its variants, sanitary measures must be respected in the Spanish territory.

The wearing of a mask is mandatory for all persons over 6 years old, in enclosed spaces open to the public and also in all open air spaces, when groups of people do not allow the respect of a distance of 1.5 m (except between people of the same household).

It would be necessary to respect the barrier gestures at all times (safety distances, use of hydro-alkaline gel, etc.).

Mobility between autonomous communities is allowed, but local confinements may be maintained.

Meetings between people who do not live in the same household are still limited, depending on the community.

In order to follow the covid news and get reliable information about covid-19 in Spain and detailed by autonomous communities, we advise you to consult the website of theFrench Embassy in Spain.

Spanish universities, under the control of regional health authorities, regularly review their protocols to minimize any risk of contagion on their campuses.

Covid data evolve every day. That is why we advise you to inform yourself and respect the laws in force in Spain and to protect yourself.

Therefore, even though vaccination is not mandatory for the start of the Spanish universities, we believe that it is important for all students to be vaccinated before going to Spain (especially for students in health training, who will be in contact with patients).

Don't forget to take care of your health insurance in Spain as well. Don't take any risks and be covered for all the little things that happen in everyday life or for more serious accidents.

For this purpose, contact a specialized insurance company. The European Health Card, even if it is effective and important, is not necessarily sufficient.

We invite you to participate in the videoconference meeting that we are organizing on this subject in collaboration with the specialized insurance company April International by registering on theagenda.
