UK Quarantine Imposed on Spain – Germany and France Could Be Next

Islands too?

Spain, long a favorite of British sunseekers, said it was safe for tourists and was trying to convince London that it should exclude the Balearic and Canary islands from the quarantine measure.

"For some of the islands, the rates are indeed going up, also there is some movement of travel between the islands and the mainland, so we had to do a clear policy that would best protect the United Kingdom," Whately told the BBC.

TUI UK, part of the TUI holiday company, said it would cancel all holidays to mainland Spain up to Aug. 9, while maintaining flights to the Balearic and Canary islands.

"What we'd really like — and I think we are going to need this going forward as the world evolves — is a nuanced policy," TUI managing director Andrew Flintham told the BBC.
