The policy in Catalonia is that if someone tests positive for COVID, the public health department will contact all close contacts of that person, and these close contacts are asked to take a test as well.  I have not read any posts that indicate other residents of the villa have gone to be tested.  If a close contact tests positive, then that person's close contacts are asked to take a test.  Example. Tesla tests positive.  Nelly would be asked to take a test.  If Nelly tests positive, then Nelly would give the public health department the names of close contacts.  She would give them Martina's name.  Martina would be called and asked to take a test.  If Martina tests positive, then Alberto would be asked to take a test.  And so on.

You can see why RLC (and those who are part of the project) might not want authorities in Barcelona asking many questions about their legal status in Spain.

The most common COVID test in Catalonia apparently is a rapid antigen test.   These are quick (15-30 minutes) and inexpensive.  They are not the best test, and work best when a person is symptomatic and at the peak of being infectious, which is 3-5 days after first being infected. 

The PCR test is the most accurate test.  It is more expensive and it takes a day or more to get the test result.  This would be the test to use if a person is asymptomatic.  If Eli was tested, I doubt she was given a PCR test. 

I do not know whether those who are not residents of Spain can be vaccinated by the Spanish health care system.  The Ukraine has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the world, ten times more people have been vaccinated in Spain than in the Ukraine.  So no trips to the Ukraine to get vaccinated.  And if one did go to the Ukraine, one may have trouble re-entering Spain or another Schengen country without being vaccinated.
