Some facts (I think):
Spain numbers have shot up: 25% so far today over yesterday. Spain now has the most infections in Europe behind Italy, with new infection rates growing at the fastest of any country on the planet.
Is it true Spain only started widespread testing today? Opposed to only testing those showing up to a health centre with symptoms?
Either way, putting all the discussions about the safety of planes and how the virus is spread aside, things are not looking good.
Anyone due to travel to Spain soon has a hard decision to make. Most likely those not due for a month or so will have that decision made for them. I'd say the prudent thing is to not travel. Or travel and self-isolate for two weeks after returning, including not using public transport to get home from the airport.
