On Thursday 25th and Friday 26th March the first ever visit by a King and Queen of Spain to Andorra will take place as part of the celebration of Andorra’s hosting of the 27th Iberoamerican Summit of Heads of State and Government.
The Ministry of Health has approved the abnormal protocol SARS-CoV-2 among journalists attendees and throughout the official visit.

In addition, during the visit, it is mandatory to wear an FFP2 mask and maintain interpersonal distance.
