Morning

This is good news however you still cannot enter Spain for anything other than essential reasons , "A holiday" or "Visiting your second/ Holiday home are still not legal and you could be heavily fined.

Merry Christmas to everybody and hopefully a much happier new year.

Kind regards

It's a TMA test you need done.

(Transcription-Mediated Amplification test)

I can't find anything about where to have them done.

Is that the one looking for the antibodies in the blood?
