Spain has initiated health controls on travelers arriving from Italy as a preventative measure. Checks began at Madrid and Barcelona airports, expanding to Málaga, Seville, Bilbao, Alicante, and Valencia throughout the morning. Authorities are currently requesting documentation from a limited percentage of passengers, estimated between 5% and 10%. The move comes as concerns rise regarding the spread of illness originating in Italy. This initial phase appears focused on a sampling of travelers rather than a comprehensive screening of everyone arriving. The checks aim to identify potential cases and implement appropriate health protocols. Further details regarding the scope and duration of these controls are expected soon.
