Some of the time of the court we are at this moment talking to the british authorities to try to make them reconsider a measure that in our view is unsuitable particularly if we keep the epidemiological data of the spanish territory and in particular certain tourist destinations like for example the canary in the barrack islands the villains here and dilutes in regions which i insist have a total accumulated level of virus that is lower than whats being registered in the u. K. In epidemiological terms it is safer to be in these regions than in the u. K. The spanish Tourism Association says the u. K.
