Spain has modified its COVID test requirements for air travellers, meaning that besides a negative PCR test, passengers will also be able to present so-called TMA negative tests as of Wednesday, which are cheaper and faster.
While children under the age of six will be exempted from both tests, test results can also be presented in English, German and French, Spain’s Health Ministry reported.
