UK warns against travel to Spanish isles amid COVID-19 spike

The government is now warning against non-essential travel to the Balearics and Canaries - despite calls for the islands to be exempt from quarantine rules.

Foreign Office guidance was changed on Monday to include both mainland Spain and islands such as Ibiza and Tenerife.

The travel industry has urged officials to reconsider the blanket ban, citing lower infection rates in the islands.

I like how one of them was complaing about their business not being able to survive the 2 week isolation but can go on holiday to Spain

[hazelowers]

Well lets be honest. They knew the risks, but they went anyway so...

International travel during a worldwide pandemic is not without disruption, inconveniences & consequences.

[samrh]

Anyone going away now should have known the consequences. I mean we are still in a pandemic

[zigzagpapers]

Don't go on holiday then, imagine that during a pandemic then complaining about it, embarrassing.

[stephaniewhite]

This is depicted as though this is some kind of hardship, but why go travelling to Spain in the heart of a pandemic. After a 3 month lockdown to get the country safe its totally selfish.

I don't think these people can stay in their country for more than week.

[raider]

Don’t go to a foreign country during a pandemic. Can people really not wait a year?. Have a staycation support our economy.

1:02 can’t afford another 2 weeks away from work yet your on holiday in Spain 🤨

[wongz]

Cant afford to have 2 weeks off work but gone on holiday...humans 🙈🙈

[Nikoomilano]

Um wtf, they're so selfish. They know the risks, still going to infect vulnerable people. Smh.

[felixtheschon]

who in their right mind goes on holiday right now and is surprised that it hasn't gone quite to plan. smooth brains the lot of them.

[Resolution]

Honestly i feel 0 sympathy for people that can't hold out travelling for one year during a pandemic.

[eightiesboy]

Couldn't the camera pan up a bit from 01:25. He's put me right off my dinner now.

Georgia was beautiful until she opened her mouth.

[spanishwithlex]

Don't forget we are still in the heart of a pandemic. Spain is suffering a huge economic crisis and this Britain's warn against traveling to Spain it's gonna be hard. But Brits' and Spaniard's health is more important than money. Stay safe!

[fourtails]

Irresponsible people going on holiday during a pandemic!

[mhawkins]

I don’t see the fascination of going on holiday, if people dont follow guidelines we will never get through this one year hopefully without a holiday never killed anyone.

[drwoo]

Let everyone go abroad, just don’t let them come home! Sorted!

[zenex]

Yes do as Boris says. Forget about the Russia Report.
