British tourists with holidays booked on the island for Christmas are likely to be subject to the new restrictions. The Canary Island Government has said it has to bring in the restrictions to prevent a new Covid wave.
Britons are one of the top nationalities holidaying in Tenerife this winter, as temperatures rarely fall below 20 degrees.
The Minister for Health, Blas Trujillo, said he wasn’t “ruling out anything” when it came to possible measures.
He said: “It will be a package of measures based on the scenarios that may occur in the face of the Christmas holidays which overlap with the high tourist season and the full hotel plant.”
A Covid certificate may be brought in to “control the flow of people indoors” during the winter tourist season.
DON’T MISS
The certificate would mean that anyone wanting to access shops, hotels, restaurants, pubs and bars would need to show proof of vaccination.
The only other way to get a Covid certificate would be to prove they had recently recovered from the virus.
Government officials said unvaccinated people should not pose a threat to those who have had the jabs.
The Government has also claimed that most cases of Covid have been imported from tourists.
Galicia, in northern Spain, recently had a Covid certificate endorsed by the Supreme Court for certain conditions.
Blas Trujillo said a Canary Islands Covid Certificate would be “useful”. He said: “We continue to think the same way, and that it is a very useful thing.
“We continue to believe that we have sufficient reasons to be able to propose a measure like this.
“We are constantly analysing the situation to, above all, anticipate it before it worsens.”
