Lanzarote Airport is enabling a space within its facilities, specifically in the arrivals area of T1, for PCR control of international travelers, as confirmed by Aena.
This space is scheduled to be put into operation next Monday, November 23, when the State measure comes into force, which will require passengers from countries at risk to have a negative PCR, which has been carried out in the 72 hours prior to landing in Spain.
"What Aena will do is check that the passenger brings that PCR", they pointed out from the public company, from where they pointed out that the facilities of the Aena network airports are being enabled for this purpose throughout the country.
Sanctions for those who come without a negative PCR
As explained by Aena, "at origin it should already be checked that passengers come with that PCR done" and with the health control form that has been required for months. However, if a traveler lands without that test, Aena will give "notice to the authorities."
In this regard, the BOE of November 12, in which the resolution of the General Directorate of Public Health of the Ministry of Health regarding health controls to be carried out at the points of entry into Spain was published, established that, in case of non-compliance, the regime of infringements and sanctions contemplated in Title VI of Law 33/2011, of October 4, General of Public Health, which provides for fines of 60,001 to 600,000 euros for very serious infringements, from 3,001 to 60,000 euros for serious ones and up to 3,000 for minor ones.
Likewise, the BOE establishes that those passengers who do not adequately accredit the performance of a PCR with a negative result must undergo the diagnostic test determined by the Foreign Health services. Similarly, those passengers with respect to whom, after carrying out temperature, visual or documentary controls, it is determined that there is suspicion that they may suffer from Covid-19 must undergo a test.
In addition, alternatively, passengers may be required to have a Covid-19 PCR in the 48 hours following their arrival in Spain, the result of which must be communicated to the Foreign Health services.
