I was looking at these figures yesterday. Spain and Portugal both have over double the infection rate 35.1 and 35.5 of the UK which currently is 14.7, which is similar in number to France 14.6. Sweden currently is 40.1. These figures are a 14-day cumulative number of COVID-19 cases per 100 000 people.

I work in the aviation industry, currently on furlough and is desperate to get back to work as soon as possible, but these EU/European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control figures point out that areas of Spain and Portugal are not safe at the moment. You can't have one rule/set of figures for Portugal and not apply the same rules for Spain. I'm fully aware the infection rate is lower in the islands but the trend is up and as we know there is always a lag in the infection rate.
