Gibraltar eyes UK travel green list after six weeks without new resident cases 4th May 2021
Gibraltar has recorded nearly six weeks without any new cases of Covid-19 among residents, as expectation grows that the Rock’s tourism sector will spring back to life this summer after a difficult year.
According to the Gibraltar Government’s data, the last positive resident case of the virus was detected on March 23. By April 8, that person had recovered and there were no active resident cases on the Rock.
That has remained the case since then, although some cases were detected after that date in seafarers on board vessels in the Bay of Gibraltar.
