Covid/Camino: all of 2022 news and updates Marion ~ Santiago in Love, CC BY-NC-SA
Yes, share this post… and name its source! Why? Because such content requires an enormus load of work! Thanks for respecting my work 🙏
A word on the quest for valid information
A unanimous view about the Covid is its ability to create chaos! Governments, media, individuals, everyone give their own opinion. Valuable information changes regularly and is sometimes difficult to find… To see clearly through all of it, keep a critical mind and sort things out. Know the difference between:
a fact VS an opinion/a wish/a prediction/a preference
a measure that’s considered VS an ongoing measure VS an outdated measure
journalistic/political sensationalism VS real and well-founded information
the reality/practical application/consequences of current laws VS the personal choices/decisions of each individual (which is exactly that: personal!)
Considering the mass of information that goes around, it’s not easy to see clearly! Here are a few tools to help you in this quest:
Identify the media and its degree of reliability: social networks < news channels, broadcast and newspapers < government press releases < government websites < official journal (laws, decrees, orders, orders)
the lower the reliability of the media, the more important it is to check its source(s)
Identify the source of the information
Check the date of publication and/or update of the information
the older the date, the more outdated the information is likely to be!
Warning: it often happens that government pages are late in updating their information!
Look for information about all the places that are concerned by your trip: country of residency/departure/transit/arrival, regional and local measures
Check that the information applies to you
Keep informed, regularly and several times; cross and double-check the information you find (different solid sources)
Here you go! You are now (a little more) fitted out to face the tsunami of information that’s constantly drowning us! Good luck to you, stay safe and Buen Camino! 🙂

Get tested
Where and how can you get tested?
For people who are not residents of Spain, tests are done in testing centers or in private labs
The price of a test is generally between 100-150€
There is no website that lists those places, you need to search for them yourself:
⇒ centro de prueba PCR/antigenico + name of the city you're in
⇒ laboratorio de prueba PCR/antigenico + name of the city you're in
You'll get a list of labs that offer those tests
For some cities only, you can do a search via Doctoralia:
→ chose "Prueba COVID-19" (Covid tests), then the city you're in
For some airports only, you can get a test there before you leave: checkthis page
Good to know:
Most of time, you'll have to book an appointment
Make sure you're getting a test that works for you
Plan with the time needed to get your results...!
Keep the receipt if your insurance/country covers the cost of the test
In Santiago de Compostela
Here's a list of labs where you can get a test, even on weekend (for some)
List from Santiago's tourist office; shared by Johnniewalker (thanks!)
isolate yourself for at least 10 days from the moment the 1st symptoms appear: it's a quarantine, you're in lockdown with interdiction to go out!
contact the specific regional Covid line, depending on where you are: you will be guided to know what to do
⇒ see those number just above the tabs
⇒ don't leave your isolation before you could contact the regional line

Masks: people over 6 years old:

specific rules may apply, decision of local authorities
Social distancing: 2m/6 feet at least
TousAntiCovid app, Pass vaccinal/sanitaire, get a Pass
The app Tous Anti Covid is primarily meant to help track positive cases and clusters:
Its use is NOT MANDATORY
Allows you to be alerted or to alert others in case of contact with the virus
Allows you to store your health certificates
It's this app you need to use to register for the "carnet de suivi" (follow up book) (eg. at restaurants)
use the app to scan the QR code of the establishment
if a contaminated person was at the same place, you will be notified
.
The Pass sanitaire is a functionality of same app: Tous Anti Covid, it's meant to check one's "health status"
The French "Pass Sanitaire" makes a difference between:
the "Pass Sanitaire frontière", used for border control within the EU (French version of the EU's Digital Green Certificate)
the "Pass Sanitaire activité", used in France only to allow access to places/services/events where it's required (the "Pass Vaccinal" doesn't exist anymore)
In both cases:
vaccination/test/recovery certificates received in the EU generate a QR code
this QR code is to be presented at checkpoints
it's scanned by someone authorized to check your health status
this person only see your name, date of birth and Pass valide/Pass invalide, not your personal information or the type of proof you have
the use of the Pass is not mandatory
the EU's Digital Green Certificate system (Pass frontière, "border") clearly states you can present your proof of health another way
the decree that defines the current measures doesn't mention the "Pass Sanitaire": it only requires that people produce a valid proof of health
→ note however no one seems to know that...
when a proof of health is required, you can present it in another way
Despite that, be careful! The 2 Pass are to present valid proves of health (vaccination/test/recovery) BUT the conditions for their validity are different between the Pass frontière and the Pass activité!
See requirements for the Pass frontière (border control) in the tab "Entry requirements for tourism in France"
See requirements for the Pass activité / Pass vaccinal in the tab "Ongoing restrictions and health measures"
.
Convert your vaccination certificate into a French QR code for the "Pass sanitaire"
officially, not possible anymore
present your proof of health another way 🙂
