The behaviour of tourists in Magaluf has triggered fears of a second wave of coronavirus in Spain after crowds of holidaymakers were filmed partying in the street
.
Video posted on social media, purportedly from Majorca's Punta Ballena party strip over the weekend, showed a large group of people chanting in English while stood close together and hugging each other, without wearing face masks. The footage, which also shows several men climb on top of a car and jump on the vehicle, caught the attention of German health minister Jens Spahn, as Magaluf - or Ballermann in German - is also hugely popular there.
He said:"The pandemic isn't over. We are still in the middle of it. We have to try to prevent infections, particularly now in the holiday season.After the footage appeared online, one person wrote:"Barbaric! Is this the kind of tourism we need or want?"in lockdown, the elderly shut away in care homes, we all wear masks in the street, but in Magaluf the antisocial and irresponsible Brits do whatever they please. It's shameful.
