Petition Action

Remove the Canary & Balearic islands from the quarantine requirement

Petition Details

It is perverse, that one Govt Dept advises that it is safe to travel to the islands (there being a specific exemption from the mainland Spain ban) BUT another Govt Dept requires a 14 quarantine for those returning from the Islands (there being no exemption from the blanket Spain requirement).

Additional Information

It is perverse, that one Govt Dept (Foreign & Commonwealth Office) advises that it is safe to travel to the Canary islands or Balearics (there being a specific exemption from the mainland Spain ban) BUT another Govt Dept (Dept of Transport) requires a 14 quarantine for those returning from the Canaries or Balearics (there being no exemption from the blanket Spain requirement).
This is unreasonable, unfair and unjust. The Canary islands have very low Covid cases, which are far less than the UK.
This unnecessary action is jeopardizing the economic survival of the islands and the UK airlines.
