Department for Transport had confirmed that quarantine measures applied to those returning from the islandsThe decision to extend the advice came after the Spanish government said it was in talks with the UK about excluding the Balearic and Canary Islands from its quarantine measures.
But Health Minister Lord Bethell said: ‘Within individual countries there is no way for us to control intra-country transport, it is therefore very difficult and challenging to have a regional exemption list, and that is why we’ve not been able to give exemptions to the Balearics.’The announcement came after the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said decisions on border measures and travel advice ‘can be changed rapidly if necessary to help stop the spread of the disease’.
He went on: ‘Unfortunately no travel is risk-free during this pandemic and disruption is possible and so anyone travelling abroad should be aware that our travel advice and exemption list is under constant review as we monitor the international situation.’
