Hi I'm visiting Empuriabrava was there IN Jan 2020.I see a region in North West Catalonia has been shut done due to spike in covid 19 cases. I'm travelling end of July for 6 nights. Is there any sign of an increase in cases in Empuriabrava? Any info would be much appreciated!what do you think my chances of having a few days there are?? Is it mandatory to wear face masks everywhere? (I hope it is)
Hi. I'm in Empuriabrava several times each week (I live about 6 kms away) and I'm sure you'll be very welcome. There was never a large Covid-19 problem here but it's possible that the return of the tourists will bring an infection or two. As this isn't a very crowded area and few people use public transport, it's unlikely to be a significant problem.
To help you put it in perspective, I believe that Figueres hospital had no Covid-19 cases in the week before last but a 'second wave' of 3 cases last week
As from last Thursday (9th July), masks are obligatory at all times except when inappropriate. (e.g. Eating, exercising, swimming etc.)
