Weddings ruined and holiday plans in disarray after region’s unexpected move to UK’s ‘amber’ list
Holidaymakers and Balearic Islands residents have criticised the government for its U-turn on the region after it was moved from the UK’s green list of quarantine-free destinations to amber.
British residents of the islands said the last-minute changes – which were announced on Wednesday and come into force at 4am on Monday – are “enormously unfair” because vaccinated UK holidaymakers won’t have to quarantine on the islands, but for islanders travelling to the UK, quarantine is still necessary. British holidaymakers criticised the government for “chopping and changing” and throwing their plans into disarray.
