Majorca warns new face mask rules will kill tourism as holidaymakers will avoid the islands
Up until now, bar two areas which went onto mini-lockdown last weekend including La Marina north of Lugo in Galicia, face masks did not have to be worn in public places outdoors in Spain where social distancing of around five feet could be guaranteed.
It added: “The reactivation of the Balearic Islands economy, which is technically on the verge of recession, requires an effort by local authorities to make sure the protocols already in place to protect peoples’ health are exercised instead of eluding their responsibility behind prohibitions.” CAEB vice-president Maria Jose Aguilo insisted the focus should be on combating authorised parties, such as one last Saturday held for British seasonal workers in Magaluf at a nearby villa which was stopped by police who seized drugs including laughing gas.
Balearic Islands Tourism Minister Iago Neguerela has defended the regional government over the measure.He told local newspaper Diario de Ibiza: “From a tourism point of view, the most important thing is projecting the image that this destination is safe.He added: “If there was a new Covid-19 outbreak in any of our islands, the short season this year would be over and next year’s season would be put at risk.
