The Canary Islands is now accepting cheaper and quicker antigen tests as pre-travel proof of travellers’ Covid-negative status.
President Angel Victor Torres signed a decree confirming the change on Wednesday (9 December), which came into force on Thursday (10 December).
Previously, arrivals into the Canaries – like those heading to mainland Spain – had been required to provide evidence of a negative PCR test taken up to 72 hours prior to departure.
PCR tests will continue to be accepted as proof of Covid-negative status.
